Production Yield and Meat Quality Characteristics of Six Pork Head Cuts from Commercial Crossbred Pigs.
Article in Foods (Basel, Switzerland), 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
Although pork head meat is an edible resource, information on the quality of individual cuts remains limited. In this study, we investigated the effects of slaughter weight on the yields of pork heads and individual pork head cuts, and evaluated the physicochemical properties of individual cuts using 150 commercial crossbred pigs. The quality properties of occipital, cheek, nasal, temporal, jowl, and sublingual meat obtained from pigs in the 110-119 kg slaughter weight group were analyzed. As slaughter weight increased, the absolute yields of pork head and individual head cuts increased, whereas their relative yields did not differ significantly among the slaughter weight groups. Individual pork head cuts also exhibited different quality properties. Nasal and sublingual meats had high pH values, a* values, total myoglobin content, and polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) proportions, whereas jowl meat had high fat content, L* values, low total myoglobin content, high monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA) proportion, and low PUFA proportion. These results suggest that individual pork head cuts have distinct properties and provide baseline information for quality evaluation and utilization.
