Scientific Opinion on the safety and efficacy of tannic acid when used as feed flavouring for all animal species.
Article in EFSA journal. European Food Safety Authority, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
Tannic acid is a synonym for hydrolysable tannins, which are widely distributed in nature. The use of tannic acid as a feed additive up to 15 mg/kg feed is safe for all animal species. The use of tannic acid as a feed additive under the proposed conditions of use presents no safety risk to consumers. In the absence of data, it would be prudent to regard the additive as potentially hazardous to workers by exposure to the skin, eyes and mucous membranes or by inhalation exposure. Tannic acid is naturally present in many plant species. The use of tannic acid as a feed additive is considered safe for the environment. Tannic acid is recognised as a food flavouring agent and is included in the European Union list of food flavourings. As its function in feed is essentially the same as that in food, no further demonstration of efficacy is necessary.
