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

Red meat consumption has been associated with less favorable health outcomes, whereas fish intake is often considered beneficial. These differences may partly relate to variations in fatty acid composition and heme iron content, which can influence oxidative processes during digestion and thereby affect intestinal and systemic responses. This study investigated the effects of pork- and salmon-based diets, differing primarily in fatty acid profile and heme iron content but matched for macronutrient composition, on oxidative stress, gut microbiota, fermentation metabolites, and inflammation in rats. The pork-based diet supplied 2.3-fold more SFA and 14-fold more heme iron than the salmon-based diet, which in turn provided 14-fold more n-3 PUFA. Consumption of pork significantly increased propanal (+81%), hexanal (17-fold), and 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (27-fold) in stomach contents, and elevated thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS, +45%) in plasma. In contrast, salmon consumption raised TBARS in duodenal mucosa (+19%) and C-reactive protein (+30%) in plasma. Only subtle diet-related changes were observed in gut microbiota composition and fermentation metabolites, with no difference in fecal calprotectin. A small number of discriminant taxa were identified, including
