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 integrative study of transcriptomics and metabolomics aimed to improve our understanding of Wooden Breast myopathy (WB). Breast muscle samples from 8 WB affected and 8 unaffected male broiler chickens of 47 days of age were harvested for metabolite profiling. Among these 16 samples, 5 affected and 6 unaffected also underwent gene expression profiling. The Joint Pathway Analysis was applied on 119 metabolites and 3444 genes exhibiting differential abundance or expression between WB affected and unaffected chickens. Mitochondrial dysfunctions in WB was suggested by higher levels of monoacylglycerols and down-regulated genes involved in lipid production, fatty acid beta oxidation, and oxidative phosphorylation. Lower levels of carnosine and anserine, along with down-regulated carnosine synthase 1 suggested decreased carnosine synthesis and hence impaired antioxidant capacity in WB. Additionally, Weighted Gene Co-expression Network Analysis results indicated that abundance of inosine monophosphate, significantly lower in WB muscle, was correlated with mRNA expression levels of numerous genes related to focal adhesion, extracellular matrix and intercellular signaling, implying its function in connecting and possibly regulating multiple key biological pathways. Overall, this study showed not only the consistency between transcript and metabolite profiles, but also the potential in gaining further insights from analyzing multi-omics data.
