Improvement of the Meat Quality of Holstein Bulls Fed a Diet Enriched with Oregano Oil.

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
Beef is a dominant meat commodity produced mainly from beef cattle breeds. Dairy cattle breeds are reared for milk production, but their calves could be raised to produce high quality meat subject to designated feeding. The objective here was to investigate the role of oregano oil-enriched diets on the quality characteristics of meat produced by Holstein bulls. Fifty Holstein bulls, aged 12 ± 2 months and with an average weight of 365 ± 60 kg, were used. They were equally allocated in two experimental groups (n = 25). One group (group CON) was offered a basal diet and the other (group OREG) the same diet enriched with 50 mg/kg DM of oregano oil, for a period of 90 days. Afterwards, meat samples were subjected to microbiological (1 h after slaughter), physicochemical (1st and 15th day after slaughter), and sensory analyses (15th day after slaughter). The beef of group OREG is characterized with improved color parameters and a lower malondialdehyde (MDA) production rate and content (68.52 ng/g versus 105.91 ng/g,
