1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 edible insect industry is inherently multidisciplinary. The increasing interest in edible insect production for food and feed has driven an increasing number of research outputs covering biology, engineering, economics, and more. However, research spanning disciplines lags behind discipline-specific research and there is a need for interdisciplinary research to address emerging challenges and support industrial advancement. Here, we integrate perspectives across biology and economics to highlight opportunities for interdisciplinary research across these fields. Specifically, we identify key gaps requiring collaborative effort and explicitly outline solutions that span these fields, with the aim of scaling up production yield, achieving economic sustainability, and ensuring the sustainable development of edible insect farming. Continuing to build relationships within academia, and between industries and governments, will ensure the continuous development of the edible insect industry to meet global challenges of hunger and food security.
