Taste Enhancement in Japanese Black Wagyu Beef Fed With Sake Lees: Insights From Metabolomic and Sensory Evaluations.
Article in Food science & nutrition, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
This study investigated the effects of sake lees (SL) supplementation on the taste characteristics of Japanese Black Wagyu beef. Analytical sensory testing and taste sensor analysis demonstrated significantly higher sweetness scores in the SL-fed group. Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) identified increased levels of amino acids, nucleotides, and glucose 1-phosphate, compounds associated with sweetness and umami perception. Metabolomic pathway analysis indicated upregulation of the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle and purine metabolism in SL-fed cattle, suggesting enhanced energy metabolism and glycogen accumulation. These metabolic changes were consistent with sensory data, highlighting the potential of SL as a functional feed additive for improving beef palatability. This integrative approach combining sensory and chemical profiling provides new insight into taste enhancement mechanisms in livestock products.
