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

introductionSurvival and quality of Green-lipped mussels (Perna canaliculus) exported live could be further improved through enhanced post-harvest handling, aiming to reduce the physiological stress associated with transport out of water. Addressing these issues requires identifying treatments to reduce post-harvest stress and understanding underpinning molecular mechanisms.

objectiveThis study aimed to evaluate treatments (low temperature and MgCl

methodsWe analysed metabolomic profiles using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS), anaerobic enzyme activity in gill and adductor muscle, and haemolymph biochemistry (pH, antioxidant capacity and osmolality) in mussels subjected to 14 °C, 4 °C or MgCl

resultsMetabolomic analyses revealed post-harvest mussels experienced increased anaerobic activity, osmotic and oxidative stress, reduced pH (Δ0.31), and lower polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA). Mussels immersed in 14 °C seawater recovered from anaerobiosis but had a strong indication of oxidative stress. Although mussels in 4 °C immersion had increased levels of PUFA, implying depressed lipid oxidation, the treatment did not improve recovery from anaerobiosis, indicated by reduced pH (Δ0.38). Mussels treated with MgCl

conclusionAmong the proposed re-immersion treatments, immersing mussels in seawater containing 40 g L
