Do any of these studies clarify what kind of red meat? Saturated fat seems to be the main issue which is high in beef and lamb but, as far as I know, low in game meats like venison.

The problem isn't saturated fat.
Beef fat is predominantly monounsaturated, and maybe 40 percent saturated. Chicken fat is like 30 percent saturated, even fish fat is 20 percent saturated. Our bodies make saturated fats constantly, and cholesterol too.
Ancel Keys was a quack. Minnesota and Sydney RCTs proved replacing saturated fats with PUFA increased all-cause mortality. The official stance of the AHA and other orgs are pushing advice that's known to be harmful, and they've been doing it for decades. Animal fats are healthy in moderation. Ultraprocessed foods (like seed oils or sugar or white whatever) aren't -- especially not at the ubiquitous levels found in western diets. Processed foods cause metabolic disorders, especially when they become staples.
Too many examples of peoples all around the world that have thrived on very high meat consumption with extreme amounts of saturated animal fats and yet didn't have metabolic disorders or CHD. Read some of Dr. Mary Enig's work if you want examples.
