Utilization of animal by-products as sources of bioactive compounds and FBS alternatives for cultured meat: a comprehensive review.
Review in Food science of animal resources, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Slaughterhouse by-products have been widely utilized in food, pharmaceutical, and biomaterial applications across Asia, Europe, and the Americas. This review examines current research on enhancing the value and utilization of these by-products, with a particular focus on their potential as alternatives to fetal bovine serum (FBS), a critical component of cell culture media. Among these, livestock and poultry blood-produced at over 30 million tons annually-is of particular interest; however, only approximately 30% is currently used in food products or additives. Recent studies suggest that serum derived from bovine, porcine, and chicken blood may serve as viable substitutes for FBS. Recent studies have suggested that serum derived from adult bovine, porcine, and chicken blood may partially substitute for FBS, with replacement efficiencies reported to reach up to approximately 80%, depending on the species. Inedible by-products, including feathers, bones, leather, and hooves, are primarily processed into fertilizers and animal feed due to their high protein and mineral content. Despite the considerable volume of slaughter by-products generated, their application in cell culture systems and other high-value industries remains underdeveloped. Promoting the industrial utilization of these materials could not only improve resource efficiency and reduce environmental impact but also contribute to the sustainability and economic value of the livestock sector.
