Microalgae Applications in the Agricultural and Food Sector: Towards a Sustainable Future.
Review in Molecules (Basel, Switzerland), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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 global population faces increasing demands for sustainable initiatives due to industrialized agriculture. To meet the demand for protein-rich foods, innovative practices must be implemented. Conventional agricultural systems face significant challenges, including soil degradation, biodiversity loss, nutrient depletion, air pollution, and degraded water quality. Additionally, conventional agriculture affects the environment due to unsustainable farming practices utilizing chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides. These practices contribute to the accumulation of greenhouse gases and carbon emissions, which negatively affect air and water quality. Agricultural yield is declining, reducing the availability of foods, and further increasing food insecurity through increased costs. Microalgae, a unicellular organism with adaptive capabilities for carbon sequestration, offers a beneficial shift from conventional agriculture. Microalgae provide low-impact environmental alternatives to the agricultural sector, promote energy conservation, and synthesize health-promoting biomolecules, such as antioxidants, pigments, essential fatty acids, polysaccharides, and protein. This review evaluates the potentials of microalgal biomass for sustainable food applications, highlighting its role in strengthening microalgae as a biorefinery and alleviating the environmental and ecological burdens of traditional farming.
