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 present experiment compared the proximate composition, the amino acid content, and profile of the breast meat of a commercial broiler hybrid (Hybrid-Normal) vs. a broiler hybrid affected by the simultaneous presence of white striping (WS) and wooden breast (WB) myopathies (Hybrid-WSWB) vs. the Italian purebred Polverara chicken (Polverara). To this purpose, a total of n = 30 breast meat cuts from male chickens/group were subjected to meat quality evaluations. Chickens were slaughtered at their commercial age. The meat of the Polverara breed showed the highest protein (P < 0.0001) and the lowest lipids (P < 0.0001) contents, whereas that of the Hybrid-WSWB broiler chickens had the lowest protein and ash (P < 0.0001) contents and the highest (P < 0.0001) amount of fat. Meat of Hybrid-Normal chickens displayed intermediate values. Polverara meat was the richest in most amino acids (g/100 g meat), whereas Hybrid-WSWB one had the lowest content (P < 0.0001). Taurine was not detected in the meat of the Polverara chicken. The meat of Hybrid-Normal chickens was the richest in valine and taurine amino acids (P < 0.0001). Results on the amino acids proportions (% of total amino acids) highlighted that lysine, arginine, leucine, glutamic acid, aspartic acid, alanine, and serine were the most representative essential and nonessential amino acids, respectively, in all 3 meat-types chickens. The study confirmed that WS and WB myopathies negatively affect the meat proximate composition and the amino acid content. The meat of the Polverara breed displayed a remarkable meat quality including a high protein content of very good quality. This may represent a tool to promote its meat among consumers and help the survival of this endangered breed. Furthermore, research efforts should be conducted to understand why taurine was absent in the breast meat of Polverara chicken.
