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

Introduction: Sex differences profoundly affect meat quality traits in chickens, but the role of gut microbiota in this process remains unclear, especially in indigenous breeds. Methodology: This study investigated pectoral muscle fiber characteristics, amino acid composition, and cecal microbiota of Qiandongnan Xiaoxiang chickens at 60,120, and 180 days of age ( Results: At 60 days, roosters had higher total fiber number and density, while hens showed larger fiber area, average area, and diameter ( Discusssion: These findings reveal dynamic sexual dimorphism in muscle properties and gut microbiota, suggesting a potential association between sex-dependent microbiota variation and muscle-related traits.
