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

Rapid muscle growth suppresses intramuscular fat deposition in chickens, leading to decreased meat quality; however, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. Here, we compared differences in myogenic and adipogenic properties in the breast muscle of Ross 308 (RS) and Xueshan (XS) broilers during growth, and analyzed the contribution of hormone levels and vascular density to these differences. Our results showed that body weight, breast muscle ratio, and myofiber size were significantly greater in RS broilers from embryonic day 12 (E12), and these differences became more pronounced after day 21 (D21), which was accompanied by marked increases in the abundance of PAX7⁺ satellite cells (SCs) and enhanced expression of PAX7, MYF5, MYOD, and MYOG. In addition, higher levels of T
