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

Adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL) is a triglyceride hydrolysis lipase and is generally related to lipid metabolism in animals. The ATGL gene was well studied in mammals, however very less was known in birds that differed significantly with mammals for lipid metabolism. In this study, cloning, mRNA real time and association analysis was performed to characterize the ATGL gene in birds. Results showed that the obtained ATGL gene cDNA of parrot, quail, duck were 1,651 bp (NCBI accession number: GQ221784), 1,557 bp (NCBI accession number: GQ221783) and 1,440 bp each, encoded 481-, 482- and 279-amino acid (AA) peptide, respectively. The parrot ATGL (pATGL) gene was found to predominantly express in breast muscle and leg muscle, and very higher ATGL mRNA level was also found in heart, abdominal fat and subcutaneous fat. The quail ATGL (qATGL) gene was also predominantly expressed in breast muscle and leg muscle, and then to a much lesser degree in heart. The duck ATGL (dATGL) gene was found to predominantly express in subcutaneous fat and abdominal fat, quite higher ATGL mRNA was also found in heart, spleen, breast muscle and leg muscle. Blast analyses indicated the high homology of ATGL and its patatin region, and moreover, and the active serine hydrolase motif ("GASAG" for "GXSXG") and the glycine rich motif ("GCGFLG" for "GXGXXG") were completely conservative among 14 species. Association analyses showed that c.950+24C>A, c.950+45C>G, c.950+73G>A, c.950+83C>T and c.950+128delA of chicken ATGL gene (cATGL) were all significantly or highly significantly with cingulated fat width (CFW) (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01), and c.777-26C>A, c.950+45C>G, c.950+73G>A and c.950+118C>T were all significantly or highly significantly with pH value of breast muscle (BMPH) (P < 0.05).
