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

Meat quality and lean meat percentage are important to pig industry. Muscle and adipose tissues are regarded as secretory organs that release myokines and adipokines to mediate muscle-adipose tissue crosstalk, which regulates lipid deposition and skeletal muscle development. The Taoyuan Black (TB) pig, a Chinese indigenous breed, exhibits abundant lipid deposition and is known for excellent meat quality. The aim of this study was to explore the dynamics of muscle development and lipid deposition in TB pigs at different ages and to identify myokines and adipokines that contribute to lipid accumulation. Forty TB and 40 Duroc pigs were fed the same diet and slaughtered for analysis at age of 60, 120, 180, and 210 d. The "window phase" of lipid deposition in TB pigs was defined from 120 to 180 d of age according to carcass traits, intramuscular fat (IMF), and adipocyte area. Comparative transcriptome of the longissimus dorsi (LD) muscle and subcutaneous adipose revealed upregulated energy and lipid metabolism pathways in TB pigs at 180 d compared to 120 d (
