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

backgroundThe rising demand for high-quality pork among consumers has driven interest in genetic improvement strategies. Crossbreeding is well known to influence carcass performance and meat quality; however, the molecular mechanisms underlying these effects are still poorly understood. In this study, the F1 generation of the Songlei Crossbred Pig (SL) was developed through crossing the Songliao Black Pig (male) (SS) and the Leixiang Pig (female) (LL). We integrated the transcriptomes and metabolomes of the longissimus dorsi (LD) muscle of SS and SL under identical conditions to identify key mechanisms regulating the quality of crossbred meat.

resultsCompared with those of SS, the slaughter weight, carcass weight, and dressing percentage of SL were significantly lower, but the backfat thickness was greater; however, meat quality traits, including intramuscular fat (IMF), colour, and pH

conclusionsThe meat quality of SL was better than that of their male parents, but not the carcass traits were not. Additionally, several critical genes and pathways related to lipid metabolism were identified. These findings provide new insights into how meat quality can be improved by hybridization.
