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

HG.CAST-(D9Mit249-D9Mit133) (HG9) congenic mice are homozygous for CAST/EiJ chromosome (Chr) 9 alleles from approximately 9 to 84 Mbp on a C57BL6/J-hg/hg (HG) background. This region contains the carcass fat in high growth mice (Carfhg2) quantitative trait locus (QTL), and while its obesity-promoting effects have been confirmed in HG9 mice, its underlying genetic basis remains elusive. To refine the location of Carfhg2, we preformed a linkage analysis in two congenic F2 intercrosses and progeny-tested a recombinant F2 male. These analyses narrowed Carfhg2 to between 33.0 and 40.8 Mbp on Chr 9. To identify candidate genes we measured the expression of 44 transcripts surrounding the Carfhg2 peak in adipose, brain, liver, and muscle tissues from F2 mice using Biomark 48.48 Dynamic Arrays. In total, 68% (30 of the 44) of genes were regulated by a significant expression QTL (eQTL) in at least one tissue. To prioritize genes with eQTL we used Network Edge Orienting, a causality modeling tool. These analyses advance our goal of identifying the molecular basis of Carfhg2.
