Research Progress on Non-Destructive Testing Technology and Equipment for Poultry Eggshell Quality.
Review in Foods (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Eggshell quality inspection plays a pivotal role in enhancing the commercial value of poultry eggs and ensuring their safety. It effectively enables the screening of high-quality eggs to meet consumer demand for premium egg products. This paper analyzes the surface characteristics, ultrastructure, and mechanical properties of poultry eggshells. It systematically reviews current advances in eggshell quality inspection technologies and compares the suitability and performance of techniques for key indicators, including shell strength, thickness, spots, color, and cracks. Furthermore, the paper discusses challenges in non-destructive testing, including individual egg variations, species differences, hardware precision limitations, and inherent methodological constraints. It summarizes commercially available portable and online non-destructive testing equipment, analyzing core challenges: the cost-accessibility paradox, speed-accuracy trade-off, algorithm interference impacts, and the technology-practice gap. Additionally, the paper explores the potential application of several emerging technologies-such as tactile sensing, X-ray imaging, laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy, and fluorescence spectroscopy-in eggshell quality inspection. Finally, it provides a comprehensive outlook on future research directions, offering constructive guidance for subsequent studies and practical applications in production.
