Broiler breast muscle myopathies: association with satellite cells.
Article in Poultry science, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
Heavy weight fast-growing meat-type broiler chickens have largely been selected for growth rate, muscle mass yield especially for the breast muscle, and feed conversion. Substantial improvements have been made, but in recent years breast meat quality issues resulting in product downgrades or condemnation have occurred especially from necrotic and fibrotic myopathies like Wooden Breast. In general, the morphological structure of the broiler breast muscle has changed in the modern commercial broiler with muscle fiber diameters increased, circulatory supply decreased, and connective spacing between individual fibers and fiber bundles decreased. Satellite cells are the primary cell type responsible for all posthatch muscle growth, and the repair and regeneration of muscle fibers. Recent evidence is suggestive of changes in the broiler satellite cell populations which will limit the ability of the satellite cells to regenerate damaged muscle fibers back to their original. These changes in the cellular biology of broiler satellite cells are likely associated with the necrosis and fibrosis observed in myopathies like Wooden Breast.
