Polymorphism in BMP4 gene and its association with growth traits in goats.
Article in Molecular biology reports, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Bone morphogenetic protein 4 (BMP4) plays a crucial role in growth and development of mammals, especially for bone growth. The aim of the present study was to assess the association of polymorphism in BMP4 gene with growth traits in three goat breeds. In this study, on the basis of PCR-SSCP and DNA sequencing methods, two new silent mutation sites of A1986G and G2203A were identified in the intron 2, and one novel microsatellite of dinucleotide-repeated (CA) sequence was in the 3' flanking region. Associations between growth traits and BMP4 gene polymorphism were investigated, and significant statistical association results were found in body height, chest circumference and trunk index (P < 0.05). The result strongly suggested that the microsatellite located in BMP4 gene might be in linkage with the two new SNPs. Further investigations are required for detecting the polymorphism of this gene in a broad variety of goat breeds and populations.
