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

Sheep's meat production and quality are influenced by genetic and physiological factors that affect muscle development, growth, and fat deposition metabolism. However, the breed-specific transcriptional landscapes driving these traits in Indian sheep breeds, especially in Nellore (meat-type) and Deccani (wool-meat type) breeds are remain unexplored. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the differences in muscle growth and fat deposition between Nellore and Deccani breeds by integrating transcriptomic profiling, carcass characteristics, and histological analysis of longissimus dorsi muscle and liver tissues. Carcass assessment revealed higher Hot Carcass Weight (HCW), Cold Carcass Weight (CCW), Hot Carcass Yield (HCY) and Cold Carcass Yield (CCY), and larger myofibrillar cross-sectional area (
