One novel SNP of growth hormone gene and its associations with growth and carcass traits in ducks.

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
In this study, the growth hormone (GH) gene was studied as a candidate gene for growth and carcass traits of three duck populations (Cherry Valley duck, Muscovy duck and Jingjiang duck). Three pairs of primers were designed to detect single nucleotide polymorphisms of introns 2, 3 and 4 of the GH gene by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism and sequencing methods. Only the products amplified from intron 2 displayed polymorphism. The results showed one novel polymorphism: a variation in intron 2 of GH gene (C172T, JN408701 and JN408702). It was associated with some growth and carcass traits in three duck populations including birth weight, 8-week weight, carcass weight, breast muscle weight, leg muscle weight, eviscerated weight, lean meat rate, dressing percentage, etc. And the TT and CT genotypes were associated with superior growth and carcass traits in carcass weight, dressing percentage and percentage of eviscerated weight. Therefore, the variation in intron 2 of GH may be a molecular marker for superior growth and carcass traits in above duck populations.
