From Nutrition to Innovation: Biomedical Applications of Egg Components.
Review in Molecules (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Valued for their nutritional content, eggs have recently gained attention as a versatile biomaterial owing to their biocompatibility, biodegradability, and unique structural and biochemical composition. This review highlights the biomedical potential of various egg components-eggshell, eggshell membrane, egg white, and egg yolk-and their applications in bone grafting, tissue engineering, wound healing, drug delivery, and biosensors. Eggshells serve as a natural, calcium-rich source for bone tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. The eggshell membrane, with its antimicrobial and structural properties, offers promise as a wound healing scaffold. Egg white, known for its gelation and film-forming capabilities, is utilized in hydrogel-based systems for drug delivery and biosensing. Egg yolk, rich in lipids and immunoglobulin Y (IgY) antibodies, is being explored for diagnostic and therapeutic applications. This review critically examines the advantages and limitations of each egg-derived component and outlines current research gaps, offering insights into future directions for the development of egg-based biomaterials in biomedical engineering.
