Postmortem Metabolism and Pork Quality Development Are Affected by Electrical Stimulation across Three Genetic Lines.

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
Variations in postmortem metabolism in muscle impact pork quality development. Curiously, some genetic lines are more refractile to adverse pork quality development than others and may regulate energy metabolism differently. The aim of this study was to challenge pork carcasses from different genetic populations with electrical stimulation (ES) to determine how postmortem metabolism varies with genetic line and explore control points that reside in glycolysis in dying muscle. Three genetic populations (GP) were subjected to ES (100 V or 200 V, 13 pulses, 2 s on/2 s off) at 15- or 25-min post-exsanguination, or no stimulation (NS). Genetic population affected relative muscle relative abundance of different myosin heavy chains, glycogen, G6P, and lactate concentrations. Genetic lines responded similarly to ES, but a comparison of ES treatment groups revealed a trend for an interaction between voltage, time of ES, and time postmortem. Higher voltage accelerated pH decline at 20 min up to 60 min postmortem. Trends in color and firmness scores and L* values were consistent with pH and metabolite data. These data show that genetic populations respond differently to postmortem perturbation by altering glycolytic flux and suggest differences in postmortem glycolysis may be partially responsible for differences in meat quality between genetic populations, though not entirely.
