Molecular regulatory mechanisms of dietary supplementation with Allium mongolicum Regel powder to improve muscle development and meat quality in Angus calves.

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
objectiveSupplementing animal feed with Allium mongolicum Regel powder (AMRP) additives can promote muscle production and improve meat quality. Here, we explored the effects of dietary AMRP supplementation on the performance, meat quality, and muscle transcriptome profile of Angus calves.
methodsTwelve healthy female black Angus calves (average body weight = 280.4±15.74 kg, average age = 14±0.6 months) of the same genetic background were randomly assigned to two feed groups: control (CON; basal diet without any supplementation) and AMRP (basal diet supplemented with 20 g of AMRP per calf per day).
resultsIn general, compared with the control group, dietary AMRP supplementation significantly increased the longissimus thoracis muscle area (p = 0.027) and pH24h (p = 0.027) but significantly reduced Warner-Bratzler shear force (p = 0.009) and cooking loss (p<0.001). Moreover, 1,284 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified in AMRP-supplemented Angus calves. Pathway analysis revealed that the DEGs were involved in multiple pathways related to muscle development and fat deposition, such as the focal adhesion and MAPK pathways.
conclusionDietary supplementation of AMRP improved muscle growth and development in Angus beef cattle. It also significantly modulated meat quality, possibly altering signaling pathways by influencing key gene expression. Our results provide novel insights into the development of the meat industry and indicate the mechanism through which AMRP regulates muscle development and improves meat quality at the molecular level.
