Insect fat as feed: Potential to modify the fatty acid composition of animal-derived foods.
Review in Animal nutrition (Zhongguo xu mu shou yi xue hui), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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.
Who cites it
9 citing papers in PubMed, 1 synthesis or guideline pooled it.

Abstract
Insect products are attracting both scientific and commercial interest because of their high quality as food and feed, with insect farming having a low environmental impact and the potential to mitigate food-feed-fuel competition. Research on edible insects has primarily focused on their role as alternative protein sources, but the use of insect fat as feed offers a tool to modulate the fatty acid (FA) profile of animal-derived foods. In this review, we conducted a systematic literature search on the composition of insect fats and their effects in animal feeding trials. We compiled two datasets of FA profiles: insects used as feed (
