Effects of resveratrol on growth performance, meat quality, and intramuscular fat deposition in finishing steers.

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 examined the impact of resveratrol (RES) on growth performance, meat quality, and intramuscular fat (IMF) deposition in steers undergoing finishing. Thirty healthy Angus steers with similar body weights (mean 571.83 ± 5.27 kg) were divided into three groups (n = 10) and fed the following diets for 240 d: 1) basal diet, 2) basal diet containing 400 mg/kg RES, or 3) basal diet containing 800 mg/kg RES. The results showed that supplementation with 400 mg/kg RES significantly increased the final body weight and average daily gain of steers (P < 0.05), whereas the 800 mg/kg group did not show a significant effect. Moreover, 400 mg/kg RES significantly increased the live weight before slaughter and carcass weight while reducing subcutaneous backfat thickness (P < 0.05). Additionally, both levels of RES supplementation significantly increased the IMF content in the Longissimus lumborum (LL) muscle and reduced drip loss, cooking loss, and shear force (P < 0.05). Notably, 400 mg/kg RES supplementation significantly decreased adipose triglyceride lipase and hormone-sensitive lipase activities of LL muscle and acetyl-CoA carboxylase activity was enhanced in all RES-treated groups (P < 0.05). These results integrating transcriptomics, proteomics, real-time quantitative PCR, and Western blotting revealed that RES upregulated both the mRNA and protein expression levels of fatty acid transport-related factors (fatty acid transport protein 1, fatty acid-binding protein 3, and fatty acid-binding protein 4) and lipogenesis-related factors (acetyl-CoA carboxylase and diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase 1) in the PPAR signaling pathway of the LL muscle. Collectively, dietary 400 mg/kg RES improved growth performance and carcass traits, specifically enhancing meat quality and promoting IMF deposition of the LL muscle. These effects were primarily mediated through activating the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor signaling pathway, which enhances the expression of factors related to fatty acid uptake and transport, lipid synthesis.
