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

Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), which is rich in high-quality protein and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), is one of the most commercially important aquaculture species worldwide. The fatty acid profiles of trout, however, might be substantially influenced by different stocking densities. The present study aims to evaluate the effects of stocking density on the fatty acid composition and hepatic metabolomics of rainbow trout. Juvenile rainbow trout were reared for 84 days in circular tanks at 3 distinct levels of stocking density, i.e., low (group LD, 9.15 g/L), moderate (group MD, 13.65 g/L), and high (group HD, 27.31 g/L). The results showed that the levels of C22:6 n-3 (Docosahexaenoic acid, DHA) and total n-3 PUFAs in the dorsal muscles of the fish at group MD were significantly higher than those at groups LD and HD (p < 0.05). For ventral muscles, fish at group HD showed significantly decreased content of C16:1n-9 (palmitoleic acid) and n-3 PUFAs compared to those at groups LD and MD (p < 0.05). Hepatic fatty acid profiles showed significant reductions in monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) for the fish at groups MD and HD compared to those at group LD (p < 0.05). Moreover, the concentrations of total n-6 PUFAs in the dorsal muscle were positively correlated with stocking density (R = 0.7357, p = 0.0238), while the levels of total n-3 PUFAs in the ventral muscle (R =  - 0.8478, p = 0.0039) and the levels of total MUFAs in the liver (R =  - 0.7837, p = 0.0101) showed negative correlations to the fish stocking densities. Metabolomics analyses further revealed that stocking density influenced the pathways related to glycerophospholipid metabolism, fatty acid degradation, and arachidonic acid metabolism. The results suggested that high stocking density altered fatty acid profiles and enhanced antioxidant and inflammatory responses in rainbow trout, providing valuable insights for optimizing aquaculture practices to improve the nutritional quality of farmed trout.
