Methionine metabolism, functions, and application in swine.
Review in Animal nutrition (Zhongguo xu mu shou yi xue hui), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
Methionine (Met) is the only sulfur-containing essential amino acid for animals and is the second or third limiting amino acid in swine diets. It plays a role not only in protein synthesis, but also as an important methyl donor to participate in various biochemical reactions. Additionally, Met can be converted into several functional derivatives, such as S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) and homocysteine (Hcy) through which it exerts its biological functions. Specifically, appropriate supplementation with Met or SAM has been shown to provide a wide range of health-promoting effects, particularly in enhancing reproductive performance, improving intestinal morphology, regulating hepatic lipid metabolism, promoting muscle growth, and improving meat quality. In contrast, elevated Hcy levels can increase oxidative stress and inflammation, negatively affecting reproductive performance. Supplemental Met has been widely used in swine production for many years. This review summarizes recent advances in the application of Met and its derivatives in the pig industry, and explores their mechanism of action and optimal dosage as a feed additive, aiming to support the effective development and rational use of Met.
