Whole plant forage mulberry feed improves meat flavor in Wenchang chickens: insights from electronic nose, HS-GC-MS, and multi-omics analysis.
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
To evaluate whole plant forage mulberry (WPFM) and determine its optimal inclusion level for improving meat quality in Wenchang chickens, 640 birds (81 d) were assigned to four treatments (8 replicates; 20 birds/replicate): a basal diet (control) or the basal diet plus 2%, 4%, or 6% WPFM. After 40 d, breast and thigh muscles were analyzed. Compared with the control group, WPFM inclusion significantly reduced drip loss (by 7.19%-50.64%), muscle fiber diameter (by 15.87%-19.07%), and shear force in thigh muscle (by 10.93%-20.40%) (all P < 0.05). Notably, the 6% WPFM group exhibited the most pronounced effects: umami amino acids (Glu) and inosine monophosphate in thigh muscle increased by 6.47% and 11.66%, respectively (P < 0.01). Furthermore, volatile flavor compounds, including aldehydes and alcohols, increased progressively with increasing WPFM levels (P < 0.05). Three characteristic volatile compounds-geraniol, phenylethyl alcohol, and (E)-2-decenal-were uniquely detected only in the WPFM-supplemented groups. These findings provide a theoretical basis for improving chicken meat quality and supports the use of mulberry as a functional feed ingredient in poultry production.
