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

DKK1 (dickkopf homolog 1) is a potent inhibitor of the canonical Wnt/β-cantenin signalling pathway, which plays a pivotal role in myogenesis, adipogenesis, and many other crucial biological processes. In this study, DKK1 was assigned to porcine 14q25-26 by using the radiation hybrid (IMpRH) panel. A G1757A single nucleotide polymorphism site by Csp6I PCR-RFLP was identified. Association analysis showed that different genotypes were associated with loin muscle area (P = 0.0281). Semi-quantitative-RT-PCR analysis revealed that DKK1 was highly expressed in spleen and lymph node at two developmental stages, while in skeletal muscle, further real-time PCR quantified that DKK1 was down-regulated in Large White pigs compared to Tongcheng pigs, accompanied by the down-regulation of CTTNB1 and TCF4, the up-regulation of LRP6, suggesting that the phenotypic difference between lean and obese pigs might be correlated with the activity of Wnt/β-cantenin signalling pathway.
