Dietary glutamine modulates egg albumen and yolk composition in laying quails: effects of age.
Article in Poultry science, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 evaluated the effects of dietary l-glutamine (Gln) supplementation on egg composition and amino acid profiles in laying Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica). A total of 320 birds were assigned to four dietary treatments containing 0.0%, 0.5%, 1.0%, or 1.5% Gln for 12 wk. Eggs were collected at 12 and 19 wk of age, representing the early and late stages of the peak laying period, for analyses of yolk and albumen composition. Dietary Gln supplementation significantly affected the concentration of several amino acids in both yolk and albumen, although the response depended on bird age and Gln inclusion level. The effects were more pronounced in late peak-lay birds and were generally greatest at moderate supplementation levels (0.5% or 1.0% Gln). In albumen, increasing dietary Gln was associated with selective changes in amino acid composition, whereas yolk amino acid responses showed more evident age-dependent patterns. Proximate composition of egg fractions was affected to a lesser extent than amino acid profiles. Overall, the results indicate that dietary Gln modulates amino acid deposition in egg components in an age-dependent manner rather than uniformly enhancing egg nutritional value. This study demonstrates for the first time that dietary Gln supplementation can alter yolk and albumen amino acid profiles in laying quail, supporting its role as a dietary factor influencing amino acid deposition during different stages of lay.
