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

The effect of incrementally increasing the acid detergent fiber (ADF) content in low fiber finishing diets on meat fatty acid (FA) composition, tenderness and stability of finishing South African Mutton Merino (SAMM) wether lambs was investigated. Four dietary treatments were formulated, only differing in ADF content, namely the control (CON), ADF1, ADF2 and ADF3 at 46.8, 59.3, 63.8, and 79.9 g ADF/kg dry matter (DM), respectively. All lambs were slaughtered at a commercial abattoir at the end of a production study of 67 days. Loin chops were evaluated for FA composition, stability and tenderness. Only the α-linolenic acid (CON vs. ADF1 and ADF3) and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA c9,t11: CON vs. ADF1 and ADF2) composition of lamb muscle tissue was affected by ADF content, with both the lowest in the CON treatment. The oleic acid, total monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA) and lipid omega-6 (n-6): omega-3 (n-3) ratio decreased, whereas linoleic acid, α-linolenic acid, CLAc9,t11, total polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA), n-6 and n-3 content, as well as PUFA:SFA ratio were increased following an increased ADF content.
