Reveals meat quality and muscle metabolism characteristics in naturally grazed Sunit sheep at different ages.
Article in Food chemistry: X, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
This study aimed to explore the effects of different ages on muscle metabolism and its association with meat quality in naturally grazed Sunit sheep using non-targeted and targeted metabolomics. The results indicated that meat quality parameters, such as cooking loss, shearing force, and intramuscular polyunsaturated fatty acid content, were most favorable at age of 6 months (M-1) than those at 18 (M-2) and 30 months (M-3). A total of 105 metabolites were identified. The key upregulated metabolites and metabolic pathways were dominated by polyunsaturated fatty acids and glycerophospholipid metabolism in M-1, whereas the key downregulated metabolites were dominated by organic acids and their derivatives. Correlation analysis showed that lysoglycerophospholipids, citrulline, and succinic acid are tenderness-related metabolites. Dipeptides, inosine 5'-monophosphate, and guanosine 5'-monophosphate are flavor-related metabolites. These findings provide a comprehensive insight into muscle metabolism and metabolic pathways in Sunit sheep meat at different ages.
