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

Viral nervous necrosis disease (VNN), caused by nervous necrosis virus (NNV), is one major threat to mariculture. Identifying loci and understanding the mechanisms associated with resistance to VNN are important in selective breeding programs. We performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) using genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) to study the genomic architecture of resistance to NNV infection in Asian seabass. We genotyped 986 individuals from 43 families produced by 15 founders with 44498 bi-allelic genetic variants using GBS. The GWAS identified three genome-wide significant loci on chromosomes 16, 19, and 20, respectively, and six suggestive loci on chromosomes 1, 8, 14, 15, 21, and 24, respectively, associated with resistance to NNV infection measured as binary and quantitative traits. Using the 500 most significant markers in combination with a training population of 800 samples could reach a genomic prediction accuracy of 0.7. Candidate genes significantly associated with resistance to NNV, including lysine-specific demethylase 2A, beta-defensin 1, and cystatin-B, which play important roles in immune responses against virus infection, were identified. Almost all the candidate genes were differentially expressed in different tissues against NNV infection. The significant genetic variants can be used in genomic selection and help understand the mechanism of resistance to VNN. Future studies should use populations of large effective size and whole genome resequencing to identify more useful genetic variants.
