Regulatory mechanisms of nutritional factors on melanin deposition in Taihe Silky Fowls: review.
Article in Animal bioscience, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The black pigmentation trait in Taihe Silky Fowls results from melanin deposition produced by widely distributed melanocytes within their bodies. The degree of melanin deposition, termed melanization, not only determines their external characteristics but also critically influences their nutritional properties and medicinal value. Nutritionally, Taihe Silky Fowls with high melanization are rich in trace elements such as iron and zinc, along with various vitamins, conferring high nutritional value. Medicinally, according to traditional Chinese medicine theory, highly melanized Taihe Silky Fowls possess therapeutic effects including nourishing the liver and kidney, replenishing Qi, and enriching the blood. Specifically, they improve liver and kidney health, promote blood production and circulation, and enhance immune capacity. This paper comprehensively reviews the molecular mechanisms of melanin biosynthesis and deposition. It specifically analyzes how particular nutrients, including amino acids, vitamins, and minerals, regulate melanin deposition in Taihe Silky Fowls at the level of cellular pathways, while also discussing their appropriate dietary supplementation levels in production practices. The aim of this review is to deepen the understanding of the mechanisms underlying melanin trait formation in Taihe Silky Fowls and to provide theoretical support for the scientific optimization of their dietary nutritional formulations.
