Fine mapping dissects pleiotropic growth quantitative trait locus into linked loci.
Article in Mammalian genome : official journal of the International Mammalian Genome Society, 2007. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers.
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
A recurring issue in studies of quantitative trait loci (QTLs) is whether QTLs that appear to have pleiotropic effects are indeed caused by pleiotropy at single loci or by linked QTLs. Previous work identified a QTL that affected tail length in mice and the lengths of various bones, including the humerus, ulna, femur, tibia, and mandible. The effect of this QTL on tail length has since been found to be due to multiple linked QTLs and so its apparently pleiotropic effects may have been due to linked QTLs with distinct effects. In the present study we examined a line of mice segregating only for a 0.94-Mb chromosomal region known to contain a subset of the QTLs influencing tail length. We measured a number of skeletal dimensions, including the lengths of the skull, mandible, humerus, ulna, femur, tibia, calcaneus, metatarsus, and a tail bone. The QTL region was found to have effects on the size of the mandible and length of the tail bone, with little or no effect on the other traits. Using a randomization approach, we rejected the null hypothesis that the QTL affected all traits equally, thereby demonstrating that the pleiotropic effects reported earlier were due to linked loci with distinct effects. This result underlines the possibility that seemingly pleiotropic effects of QTLs may frequently be due to linked loci and that high-resolution mapping will often be required to distinguish between pleiotropy and linkage.
