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

backgroundDuring incubation, the formation of fundamental anatomical and physiological structures of broilers makes this period highly sensitive to environmental factors.

objectivesThis study examined the effects of green LED lighting (560 nm, 15 lux) during incubation on the quality characteristics of broiler breast meat.

methodsMeat samples were analysed for pH, colour (L*, a*, b*), cooking loss, water holding capacity, proximate composition (dry matter, crude protein, fat, and ash), fatty acid composition, amino acid profile, and antioxidant properties.

resultsGreen LED lighting had no significant impact on ultimate pH, meat colour, cooking loss or water holding capacity (P>0.05) but resulted in a higher initial pH (p < 0.05). Nutrient composition was found similar between groups (p > 0.05). It increased certain saturated fatty acids (C17:0, C20:0, C23:0), DHA (C22:6n3), asparagine and glutamine (p < 0.05), which may enhance nutritional value. Although TAS levels were elevated, higher TOS and OSI values indicate increased oxidative stress (p < 0.05).

conclusionThese findings suggest that green LED lighting during incubation can positively influence certain meat quality traits, particularly fatty acid and amino acid composition. Future studies should focus on optimising lighting protocols during the incubation to enhance meat quality while minimising oxidative stress.
