Metabolomics Analysis Reveals Characteristic Functional Components in Pigeon Eggs.
Article in Metabolites, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
We aimed to identify the characteristic functional components of pigeon eggs and the differences among pigeon, chicken, and quail eggs. We analyzed the metabolite profiles of three kinds of eggs using an untargeted metabolomics-based approach to better understand the differences in metabolites among pigeon, chicken, and quail eggs. Then, we quantitatively validated the differences in abundance of partial metabolites through a targeted metabolomics-based approach. A total of 692 metabolites were identified in the three types of eggs. A total of 263 significantly differentially abundant metabolites were found between pigeon eggs and chicken eggs, and 263 significantly differentially abundant metabolites were found between pigeon eggs and quail eggs. The metabolites that were significantly more abundant in pigeon eggs than in other eggs were mainly lipids, lipid-like molecules, nucleosides, nucleotides, and their analogues. We identified the eight metabolites that were significantly greater in abundance in pigeon eggs than in chicken eggs and quail eggs and quantitatively validated the differences in abundance of these metabolites. Our study demonstrates that there are more functional components in pigeon eggs than chicken eggs and quail eggs, especially for the prevention and treatment of various disordered glucose and lipid metabolism-related diseases. The discovery of these differentially abundant metabolites paves the way for further research on the unique nutritional functions of pigeon eggs and the further utilization of pigeon egg products.
