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

Yak milk's stage-specific metabolic profiles remain largely uncharacterized. In this study, yak colostrum (YC) was found to contain higher levels of essential components (e.g., milk fat, lactose, lactoprotein and non-fat solids) than transitional (YT) and mature milk (YM). A comprehensive untargeted profiling was conducted using UHPLC-Q Exactive HF-X to investigate the metabolic signatures of YC, YT and YM. A total of 2005 metabolites were identified. Metabolites enriched in YC were implicated in promoting intestinal microbiota colonization and supporting neonatal immune defense and neurodevelopment. In contrast, YM exhibited a metabolomic profile associated with sustained energy metabolism and the maturation of adaptive immune responses. YT exhibited a hybrid profile containing select bioactives characteristic of both YC and YM stages. Metabolites in YC and YT showed dynamic changes associated with circadian rhythm regulation and cognitive function under high-altitude hypoxia. This study reveals lactation-stage dynamics and supports functional development of yak milk products.
