Association between variants in the 5'-untranslated region of the bovine MC4R gene and two growth traits in Nanyang cattle.
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 32 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
Melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R) is one of five G-protein-coupled receptors binding melanocortins that is implicated in the control of feeding behavior and energy homeostasis. Six cattle populations (n = 594), including four Chinese indigenous breeds, Chinese Holstein, and a meat type breed (Angus), were used to detect single nucleotide polymorphisms in 5'-untranslated region of MC4R gene by means of PCR-SSCP and DNA sequencing. Four linked SNPs (g.[-293C>G; -193A>T; -192T>G; -129A>G]) were identified. The g.-293C>G and g.-129A>G could be genotyped with a PCR-RFLP using TaiI in three combined genotypes (AA, AB and BB). The two linked SNPs were associated with body weight and daily gain in Nanyang aged 6 months (P < 0.05), but they had no significant effect on body weight and daily gain in Nanyang aged 24 months (P > 0.05).
