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

In eukaryotes, DNA methylation is an important epigenetic modification involved in gene expression regulation. Meat quality traits are complicated traits that are controlled by many genes. Changes in the methylation levels of certain genes controlling meat quality traits will inevitably affect their expression levels, thereby affecting meat quality. The objectives of this study were to investigate the differences in the DNA methylation level in pectoral muscle tissues using fluorescent-labeled methylation sensitive amplified polymorphism and their relationships with meat quality traits in three-yellow chickens. The results showed that the differences in the DNA methylation level had a highly significant effect on muscle fiber density and drip loss (P<0.01). However, no significant correlations were found between the DNA methylation levels and the other investigated traits (P>0.05).
