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

objectivesTo evaluate the effects of replacing soybean meal (SBM) with rapeseed meal (RSM) or cottonseed meal (CSM) in finishing lamb diets on meat, untargeted metabolomics were used to explore underlying mechanisms of metabolites related to Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) between raw and cooked meat.

methodsTwenty-four lambs were fed isocaloric and isonitrogenous diets for 90 days and longissimus thoracic (LT) meat was sampled for quality evaluation.

resultsResults showed that growth performance and most traits of meat were unaffected, including feed intake, average daily growth, pH, cooking loss, shear force, most color values, and fatty acids. However, the yellowness (b*) in RSM and CSM meat, as well as Met and Tyr in CSM meat, were increased. Muscle metabolomics identified five different metabolite-associated flavor precursors that varied, including galactose, L-pyrdosine, and 13-octadecenoic acid. In total, 223 VOCs detected in cooked meat showed no major differences among diets. Key flavor compounds, including 1-octen-3-ol and lipid-derived aldehydes, were consistent across treatments.

conclusionsIn conclusion, RSM and CSM are viable SBM alternatives, changes in raw meat metabolites do not alter the volatile compounds of cooked meat.
