Molecular characterization and association analysis of porcine adipose triglyceride lipase (PNPLA2) gene.
Article in Molecular biology reports, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
The adipose triglyceride lipase (PNPLA2, also known as ATGL) is a novel triacylglycerol (TG) lipase which specifically removes the first fatty acid from the triglyceride molecule generating free fatty acid and diglyceride (DG) in mammalian cells. Here we describe the molecular characterization of the porcine ATGL gene. The full-length cDNA sequence contains a 1,461 bp open reading frame encoding a protein of 486 amino acids with a calculated molecular mass of 53.2 kDa and an isoelectric point of 7.90. The porcine ATGL protein shares high identity with other mammalian ATGL. The ATGL gene contains 9 coding exons, spans approximately 6 kb. The porcine ATGL mRNA was expressed predominantly in backfat, mildly in muscle, small intestine and heart, and almost absent in liver, spleen, lung, stomach, kidney and ovary. Statistical analysis showed the ATGL gene polymorphism (G/A(392)) was different between Chinese indigenous and introduced commercial western pig breeds, and was highly associated with almost all the fat deposition and carcass traits, including subcutaneous fat thickness, viscera adipose tissue, lean percentage, loin eye traits and even rib numbers.
