Edible Bird Nest Supplementation Enhances Male Reproductive Function: Current Insights and Future Horizons.
Review in Foods (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
Edible bird nest (EBN) has a longstanding tradition in Chinese herbal medicine as a natural supplement for enhancing health and well-being. Current scientific research indicates that EBN possesses properties conducive to improving male reproductive function. These properties include promoting cell proliferation, containing essential reproductive hormones, and exhibiting antioxidant activity. Despite these promising characteristics, the potential of EBN's specific effects on male reproductive health, particularly in addressing infertility, remains sparsely discussed. Hereby, this review aims to present the available scientific evidence, discuss potential benefits, and underscore the importance of future research in advancing our understanding of EBN's role in male reproductive health. This work is imperative to expand our knowledge of the biological underpinnings of EBN so that it can be developed as a food supplement and alternative treatment for male infertility.
