Linking aroma precursors and volatile compounds to authenticate Dongxiang tribute sheep meat.
Article in Food chemistry: X, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Dongxiang tribute sheep meat is valued for its unique flavor, owing to the distinctive geographical environment and breed characteristics. This study systematically compared the meat quality, volatile compounds, and precursors (fatty acids and free amino acids) in the supraspinatus (SM), longissimus dorsi (LD), and biceps femoris (BF) muscles. The findings revealed that the SM contained elevated concentrations of unsaturated fatty acids (e.g., C18:2n6c and C20:3n3), along with flavor-enhancing amino acids, including lysine and glutamine. Moreover, HS-SPME-GC-MS identified 45 key volatile compounds (rOAV≥1) across the three cuts. O2PLS analysis showed that C18:1n9c, C20:3n3, histidine and lysine were closely linked with the generation of key flavor compounds. According to multivariate statistical analysis Thr, Val, C18:3n3, C20:3n6, 1-Heptanol and (2E, 4Z) -2,4-Decadienal could be discriminative compounds explaining muscle-originated differences in flavor profiles. These findings enable precise lamb muscle identification, guiding the development and high-value use of regional specialty lamb products. This study provides the first integrated flavoromic and chemometric approach to authenticate Dongxiang Tribute sheep meat based on biochemical markers.
