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

backgroundToll-like receptors (TLR) are crucial in innate immunity for the recognition of a broad range of microbial pathogens and are expressed in multiple cell types. There are 10 TLR genes described in the pig genome.

resultsWith a twofold objective i.e. to catalogue genetic variants in porcine TLR genes and develop a genotyping array for genetic association studies on immune-related traits, we combined targeted sub-genome enrichment and high-throughput sequencing to sequence the 10 porcine TLR genes in 266 pigs from 10 breeds and wild boars using a DNA-pooling strategy. We identified 306 single nucleotide variants across the 10 TLR and 11 populations, 87 of which were novel. One hundred and forty-seven positions i.e. six stop-gains and 141 non-synonymous substitutions were predicted to alter the protein sequence. Three positions were unique to a single breed with alternative allele frequencies equal to or higher than 0.5. We designed a genotyping array for future applications in genetic association studies, with a selection of 126 variants based on their predicted impact on protein sequence. Since TLR4, TLR7 and TLR9 were underrepresented in this selection, we also included three variants that were located in the 3'UTR of these genes. We tested the array by genotyping 214 of the 266 sequenced pigs. We found that 93 variants that involved the 10 TLR genes were polymorphic in these animals. Twelve of these variants were novel. Furthermore, seven known variants that are associated with immune-related phenotypes are present on the array and can thus be used to test such associations in additional populations.

conclusionsWe identified genetic variations that potentially have an impact on the protein sequence of porcine TLR. A genotyping array with 80 non-synonymous, 10 synonymous and three 3'UTR polymorphisms in the 10 TLR genes is now available for association studies in swine populations with measures on immune-related traits.
