Assessment of Fast-Growing and Dual-Purpose Chicken Meat Quality Characteristics in Different Production Systems.
Article in Animals : an open access journal from MDPI, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
This study focused on comparing broiler meat quality across different production systems and seasons. Chicken carcasses from intensive, free-range, and dual-purpose poultry systems were analyzed for intrinsic and extrinsic quality traits. The results revealed significant effects of the production system and season. Carcasses from dual-purpose and intensive systems were heavier. Greater carcass weight was recorded in autumn and winter. The mean post-mortem pH of breast and thigh was lower in extensive and dual-purpose systems and significantly lower in winter and spring. Colorimetric parameters varied by system, as higher means of redness (intensive), yellowness (free-range), and lightness (dual-purpose) were observed. Meat from intensive systems was less firm, showed higher levels of unsaturated fatty acids and better oxidation stability. Dual-purpose displayed higher levels of polyunsaturated fatty acids. The interaction effect was significant for most quality parameters.
