Safety and efficacy of a feed additive consisting of acacia gum (gum Arabic) for all animal species (A.I.P.G. Association for International Promotion of Gums).
Article in EFSA journal. European Food Safety Authority, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Following a request from the European Commission, EFSA was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on the safety and efficacy of acacia gum (gum Arabic) as a technological additive for all animal species. The FEEDAP Panel concluded that acacia gum does not raise concerns for genotoxicity and is considered safe for all animal species, at levels ranging 278-4889 mg/kg complete feed. Regarding the user safety, the additive was considered a potential dermal and respiratory sensitiser, and any exposure by dermal or inhalation routes is considered a risk. The Panel concluded that the additive is efficacious as an emulsifier and in stabilising emulsions over time, which would support its efficacy as a stabiliser.
