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

Although genetic background and crossbreeding affect egg quality and yolk composition, their effects on cooked-yolk lipid nutritional traits and metabolomic profiles remain unclear. This study evaluated production performance, internal and external egg quality , cooked-yolk fatty acids, and untargeted metabolomic profiles of four three-way cross combinations using G02, a Dongxiang green-shell chicken line, as the terminal sire at 30 weeks of age. The four combinations showed similar growth trajectories but differed in laying performance and selected egg-quality traits. Notably, G02 × (L02 × L03), involving Wenshang Barred (L02) and Tejia Barred (L03) maternal lines, exhibited lower total saturated, monounsaturated, and polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) contents but higher eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) contents than the other combinations. It also showed the highest DHA/total PUFA proportion and omega-3/omega-6 fatty acid ratio. Untargeted metabolomics identified 11 candidate differentially abundant metabolites, mainly mapping to pathways related to carbon and energy metabolism. These findings indicate that G02 × (L02 × L03) showed a relatively favorable cooked-yolk long-chain n-3 fatty acid profile and may warrant further evaluation for developing green-shell eggs with a higher DHA proportion, although validation across laying stages and breeding batches is required.
