Distribution and linkage disequilibrium analysis of polymorphisms of MC4R, LEP, H-FABP genes in the different populations of pigs, associated with economic traits in DIV2 line.
Article in Molecular biology reports, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
PCR-RFLP was used to analyze the polymorphisms of MC4R, LEP, H-FABP genes in a swine breed composite (DIV2) and 4 swine breeds (Yorkshire, Landrace, Meishan, Bamei). The association study of these polymorphisms with several economic traits was carried out on a DIV2 population. The results obtained showed that MC4R/TaqI genotype had an effect for average backfat thickness (P < 0.05) and lean meat percentage (P < 0.05). At locus LEP/HinfI animals of AA genotype had lower test daily gain than that of BB (P < 0.01) or AB genotype (P < 0.05). At the H-FABP/HaeIII locus lean meat percentage of the individuals with genotype DD were higher than that with genotype dd (P < 0.05). Linkage disequilibrium analysis among MC4R, LEP and H-FABP revealed that these genes were independent. This represented two or more genes that could be combined together within one genotype in order to facilitate breeding for objective traits. In addition, a method allowing simultaneous detection of fragments of MC4R and LEP gene was developed.
