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

Global consumption of poultry meat, particularly chicken, continues to rise. However, there remains a limited understanding regarding alterations in muscle metabolites during animal breeding processes. Here, we demonstrate metabolic differences between selectively bred offspring roosters and their three parental lines. The offspring exhibited superior meat quality, as evidenced by significantly elevated absolute levels of inosine monophosphate (IMP) and decreased cooking loss. Complementary LC-MS and GC-MS analyses revealed dynamic changes in the chicken skeletal muscle metabolome, identifying amino acids and their derivatives as the primary discriminatory metabolites exhibiting elevated abundance in the offspring. Furthermore, gut microbiota was found to correlate with fluctuations in muscle metabolite levels, particularly phenylalanine and IMP. This study provides novel insights for quality control and traceability of animal-derived foods, advocating a whole-industry-chain perspective to scientifically enhance meat quality and flavor attributes.
