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 study compares the nutritional profiles of Yuzhong and European meat pigeons to inform breeding and consumer choices. Thirty 28-day-old pigeons were analyzed for protein, fat, moisture, amino acids, fatty acids, and trace elements in breast muscle samples. No significant differences were found in protein, fat, moisture, or essential amino acid levels between breeds. However, Yuzhong pigeons showed higher levels of umami amino acids, monounsaturated fatty acids (particularly oleic acid), and trace elements (copper, iron, zinc, selenium). In contrast, European meat pigeons were richer in polyunsaturated fatty acids, such as linoleic acid, arachidonic acid, and DHA. These results highlight nutritional distinctions between the breeds, providing guidance for breeding programs and offering insights for consumers seeking specific dietary attributes in poultry meat.
