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

This study investigates the effects of supplementing grower-fattening pig diets with fermented liquid feed (FLF) on growth performance, carcass traits, meat quality attributes, and metabolite profiles. Seventy-five crossbred gilts were randomly allocated to groups receiving dry pellet feed (control) or liquid feed with 15 % or 30 % FLF supplementation. FLF supplementation significantly increased final body weight, while decreasing crude protein and ash content in pork. Notably, FLF elevated intramuscular fat and ether extract levels, promoting muscle fat metabolism and resulting in increased backfat thickness and tenderness without compromising storage stability. Metabolomics analysis revealed significant alterations in amino acid and lipid metabolism pathways associated with FLF. Gene expression analysis highlighted changes in key lipid metabolism regulators, providing mechanistic insights into the improved meat quality. Overall, this study underscores FLF as a promising dietary strategy with implications for sustainable and consumer-centric pork production.
