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 investigates the quality deterioration of pork during six-month frozen storage using polarized light microscopy and tandem mass tag (TMT)-based quantitative proteomics. Ice recrystallization analysis revealed the formation of larger ice crystals over time, which mechanically disrupted muscle structure and reduced water-holding capacity. Proteomic analysis identified 180 Differentially Expressed Proteins (DEPs) between fresh and frozen pork, with significant alterations in proteins related to structural integrity, energy metabolism, and stress response. Key metabolic pathways, including glycolysis, fatty acid degradation, and oxidative phosphorylation, were notably suppressed in frozen samples. Protein-protein interaction network analysis highlighted central regulatory nodes such as ATP5F1A and CAT, which were downregulated in frozen pork. Moreover, potential freeze-responsive biomarkers such as CA2, ALDH2, S100A1, and TRIM63 were identified, indicating metabolic impairment and muscle contraction dysfunction in frozen meat. These findings offer molecular-level insights into freeze-induced damage mechanisms and suggest potential biomarkers for evaluating frozen pork quality.
