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

This article highlights recent developments and the latest progress made in the use of insects as a new source of biomolecules in various fields like agro-industry, cosmetics and pharmacology. Indeed, numerous insect species such as the honeybee (Apis mellifera), the mealybug (Coccus cacti), the silkworm (Bombyx mori), the mealworm (Tenebrio molitor) and others constitute a rich source of bioactive molecules (enzymes, hormones, peptides, proteins, fatty acids, polysaccharides…) that can be used to develop innovative and effective products with various activities: antioxidant, antimicrobial, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, etc. The advantages and challenges associated with the use of insects as a source of biomolecules are also discussed. The article concludes by stressing the importance of further research into biomolecules of insect origin and their potential applications in a wide range of industries.
