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

backgroundKnowledge on the levels of linkage disequilibrium (LD) across the genome, persistence of gametic phase between breed pairs, genetic diversity and population structure are important parameters for the successful implementation of genomic selection. Therefore, the objectives of this study were to investigate these parameters in order to assess the feasibility of a multi-herd and multi-breed training population for genomic selection in important purebred and crossbred pig populations in Canada. A total of 3,057 animals, representative of the national populations, were genotyped with the Illumina Porcine SNP60 BeadChip (62,163 markers).

resultsThe overall LD (r

conclusionsAn overview of population structure, LD decay, demographic history and inbreeding of important pig breeds in Canada was presented. The rate of LD decay for the three Canadian pig breeds indicates that genomic selection can be successfully implemented within breeds with the current 60 K SNP panel. The use of a multi-breed training population involving Landrace and Yorkshire to estimate the genomic breeding values of crossbred animals (Landrace × Yorkshire) should be further evaluated. The lower correlation of phase at short distances between Duroc and the other breeds indicates that a denser panel may be required for the use of a multi-breed training population including Duroc.
