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

The HN pig, indigenous to Henan Province, is distinguished by its reduced lean meat yield and slower growth rates relative to commercial foreign breeds. To address these limitations, three hybrid combinations were generated through the crossbreeding of Huainan sows with Yorkshire, Landrace, and Berkshire sires. In this study, extensive transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses of the LD muscle were carried out for the first time, and carcass and meat quality characteristics were compared between hybrid and HN pigs. Slaughter and muscle quality assessments revealed that the lean meat percentage of LH and YH was significantly lower than that of HN, with YH exhibiting the lowest intramuscular fat level, indicating that this breed possesses enhanced lean meat production efficiency. Transcriptomic profiling revealed markedly increased expression of
