From waste to wellness: Citrus by-products as nutritional and immunological enhancers in aquaculture.
Review in Food chemistry: X, 2026. 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
The aquaculture industry plays a vital role in global protein supply; however, it faces significant challenges, including escalating feed costs, disease outbreaks, and concerns over environmental sustainability. Citrus by-products offer a valuable and underutilized renewable resource for developing functional aquafeeds. Green extraction technologies, particularly ultrasound-assisted extraction, have demonstrated high efficiency in recovering bioactive compounds, increasing phenolic yields by more than 30 % while substantially reducing solvent consumption. The inclusion of citrus-derived bioactive in aquafeeds enhances growth performance, immune function, and disease resistance in aquatic species. For example, dietary supplementation with lemon peel extracts improved survival in Nile tilapia to over 80 %, while bitter orange essential oil increased growth rate and modulated immune-related gene expression in common carp. Despite these promising results, bioavailability, metabolic pathways, and species-specific responses remain insufficiently understood. This review synthesizes advances in green extraction and functional applications of citrus bioactives, identifying critical research gaps to guide sustainable aquaculture innovation.
