Phenotypic and genetic correlations of fatty acid composition in subcutaneous adipose tissue with carcass merit and meat tenderness traits in Canadian beef cattle.

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
Bivariate animal models were used to estimate phenotypic and genetic correlations between 9 carcass merit and meat tenderness traits with 25 individual and grouped fatty acids in the subcutaneous adipose tissue of a population of 1,366 Canadian beef cattle finishing heifers and steers. In general, phenotypic correlations were low (<0.25 in magnitude) except for moderate phenotypic correlations of 9-17:1 (-0.29 ± 0.16), 18:0 (0.26 ± 0.14), 11-18:1 (-0.33 ± 0.15), 11-18:1 (0.35 ± 0.14) with Warner-Bratzler shear force measured 3 d postmortem and between 14:0 (-0.36 ± 0.1), 9-14:1 (-0.34 ± 0.08), 9-16:1 (-0.36 ± 0.08), 9-18:1 (0.26 ± 0.07), and sum of branched-chain fatty acids (BCFA; -0.27 ± 0.06) and back fat thickness (BFAT). Genetic correlations were also low for most of the traits. However, moderate to moderately high genetic correlations (0.25 to 0.50 in magnitude) were detected for some traits, including 17:0 (0.4 ± 0.11), 18:0 (0.44 ± 0.12), 9-14:1 (-0.47 ± 0.11), 9-16:1 (-0.43 ± 0.11), and the -6:-3 PUFA ratio (-0.5 ± 0.15) with HCW; 9-14:1 (-0.41 ± 0.13) and 9-16:1 (-0.42 ± 0.13) with BFAT; 17:0 (0.43 ± 0.19) and BCFA (0.45 ± 0.19) with lean meat yield; 13-18:1 (0.40 ± 0.15) with carcass marbling score; sum of CLA (0.45 ± 0.22), 18:2-6 (0.47 ± 0.17), and sum of PUFA (0.48 ± 0.17) with overall tenderness measured 3 d postmortem; the -6:-3 PUFA ratio (0.41 ± 0.22) and sum of CLA (0.42 ± 0.25) with overall tenderness measured 29 d postmortem; and BCFA (0.41 ± 0.27) with Warner-Bratzler shear force measured 29 d postmortem. The genetic correlations observed in this study suggest that contents of some fatty acids in beef tissue and carcass merit and meat tenderness traits are likely influenced by a subset of the same genes in beef cattle. Due to some antagonistic genetic correlations, multiple-trait economic indexes are recommended when fatty acid composition, carcass merit, and meat tenderness traits are included in the breeding objective.
