Technological landscapes and sustainable transitions: reconfiguring the meat industry in Asia.
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. 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
Asia, responsible for over 40% of global meat production, faces a profound sustainability challenge amplified by unique regional pressures. Surging incomes are projected to drive per capita global meat consumption, intensifying environmental footprints and exposing systemic vulnerabilities, including import dependence, zoonotic disease risks, and eroding consumer trust. The imperative to shift toward more sustainable meat production systems is now widely recognized. However, Asia's pathway to transformation is distinct from trajectories observed in other regions. Based on a systematic review of the literature, this article identifies a distinctive "Asian Hybrid Transition Model" that characterizes the region's response. Rather than displacing conventional production systems through technological substitution, this model integrates novel technologies, such as digital tools, biotechnology, and circular economy principles, with existing industrial frameworks through three mutually reinforcing forces: corporate-led investment, state-backed orchestration, and digitally enabled intermediation. While emerging technologies, including precision livestock farming, circular economy systems, plant-based alternatives, and cultivated meat, demonstrate considerable promise, they also face persistent scientific, economic, and consumer acceptance challenges. The model also generates critical tensions between corporate consolidation and equitable access, technological efficiency and smallholder livelihoods, and environmental metrics and cultural legitimacy. Navigating these contradictions is paramount to shaping a sustainable and resilient trajectory for Asia's meat industry.
