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

The Lanzhou Fat-Tail sheep (LFTS, long fat-tailed sheep) is an endangered sheep breed in China with a fat tail compared to the traditional local varieties, Small Tail Han sheep (STHS, thin-tailed sheep) with a small tail, and Tibetan sheep (TS, short thin-tailed sheep) with a little tail. However, little is known regarding how tail fat deposition is regulated by long noncoding RNA (lncRNA). To evaluate the lncRNA and mRNA associated with tail fat deposition and development among these breeds, high-throughput RNA sequencing of three individuals each of LFTS, STHS, and TS were performed and analyzed in this study. RNA sequencing data from these three groups revealed 10 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and 37 differentially expressed lncRNAs between the LFTS and STHS groups, 390 DEGs and 59 differentially expressed lncRNAs between the LFTS and TS groups, and 80 DEGs and 16 differentially expressed lncRNAs between the STHS and TS groups (
