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

The PR domain containing 16 (PRDM16) is a member of the Prdm family, and is known to regulate cell differentiation. In the present study, DNA pool sequencing methods were employed to screen genetic variations in the chicken PRDM16 gene. The results revealed four novel single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs): NC_006108.2: g.92188G>A, XM_417551: c.1161C>T (Ala/Ala, 387aa), c.1233C>T (Ser/Ser, 411aa) and c.1433G>A (Ser/Asn, 478aa). The BglI polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) was used to detect c.1161C>T, while HhaI Forced PCR-RFLP methods were used to detect 1233C>T and c.1433G>A in 964 chickens. The chickens comprised 38 grandparents, 66 F(1) parents and 860 F(2) birds derived from an F(2) resource population of Gushi chickens crossed with Anka broilers. The associations of the polymorphisms in the chicken PRDM16 gene with performance traits were analyzed in the 860 F(2) chickens. The results indicated that the three SNPs were significantly associated with growth, fatness and meat quality traits in the chickens. In particular, the polymorphisms of the missense SNP (c.1433G>A) had positive effects on chicken body weight and body size at different stages. It affected also fatness traits significantly. Comparison of the different genotypes of c.1433G>A showed that the GG genotype favored chicken growth and fatness traits.
