Genetic variations for egg quality of chickens at late laying period revealed by genome-wide association study.
Article in Scientific reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 34 papers.
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.
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
With the extension of the egg-laying cycle, the rapid decline in egg quality at late laying period has aroused great concern in the poultry industry. Herein, we performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) to identify genomic variations associated with egg quality, employing chicken 600 K high-density SNP arrays in a population of 1078 hens at 72 and 80 weeks of age. The results indicated that a genomic region spanning from 8.95 to 9.31 Mb (~0.36 Mb) on GGA13 was significantly associated with the albumen height (AH) and the haugh unit (HU), and the two most significant SNPs accounted for 3.12 ~ 5.75% of the phenotypic variance. Two promising genes, MSX2 and DRD1, were mapped to the narrow significant region, which was involved in embryonic and ovary development and found to be related to egg production, respectively. Moreover, three interesting genes, RHOA, SDF4 and TNFRSF4, identified from three significant loci, were considered to be candidate genes for egg shell colour. Findings in our study could provide worthy theoretical basis and technological support to improve late-stage egg quality for breeders.
