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

backgroundSelective breeding for genetic improvement is expected to leave distinctive selection signatures within genomes. The identification of selection signatures can help to elucidate the mechanisms of selection and accelerate genetic improvement. Fighting chickens have undergone extensive artificial selection, resulting in modifications to their morphology, physiology and behavior compared to wild species. Comparing the genomes of fighting chickens and wild species offers a unique opportunity for identifying signatures of artificial selection.

resultsWe identified selection signals in 100-kb windows sliding in 10-kb steps by using two approaches: the pooled heterozygosity [Formula: see text] and the fixation index [Formula: see text] between Xishuangbanna fighting chicken (YNLC) and Red Jungle Fowl. A total of 413 candidate genes were found to be putatively under selection in YNLC. These genes were related to traits such as growth, disease resistance, aggressive behavior and energy metabolism, as well as the morphogenesis and homeostasis of many tissues and organs.

conclusionsThis study reveals mechanisms and targets of artificial selection, which will contribute to improve our knowledge about the evolution of fighting chickens and facilitate future quantitative trait loci mapping.
