Effects of Slaughter Age on Myosin Heavy Chain Isoforms, Muscle Fibers, Fatty Acids, and Meat Quality in
Article in Frontiers in veterinary science, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 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
Tibetan sheep is one of the dominant livestock at Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, which is the main food source of local people. In order to investigate the effect of slaughter age on meat quality, fatty acid profile and expression of myosin heavy chain (MyHC) isoform genes were analyzed in Tibetan sheep. A total of 24 Tibetan sheep including 4 months old (4 m), 1.5 years old (1.5 y), 3.5 years old (3.5 y), and 6 years old (6 y) were randomly selected. The results indicated that the MyHC IIx and MyHC IIb mRNAs increased with age, whereas MyHC IIa mRNA decreased. MyHC I mRNA was highest at 3.5 y. There were differences in the muscle fiber types of Tibetan sheep at different ages. Intramuscular fat (IMF) was highest at 1.5 y, the pH
