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 in populations with a limited effective population size may result in a loss of genetic diversity, which can cause an increased concentration of specific disease liability genes. The Dutch Shepherd Dog (DSD) in the Netherlands is an example of such a breed with a small effective population.

objectiveTo evaluate the measurement of genetic diversity and multiplex DNA panel screening for implementation in a breeding strategy for the Dutch Shepherd Dog (DSD) and to investigate the clinical relevance of potentially identified mutations in the multiplex DNA panel screening.

resultsGenome-wide SNP testing showed genetic isolation and reduced genetic diversity within coat variety subgroups of the DSD. Panel screening identified a Von Willebrand's Disease type I mutation. Although decreased Von Willebrand's Factor proteins were significantly lower in DSDs carrying the VWD-I allele compared to the wildtype, clinical follow-up did not show a significant association between the clinical phenotype and VWD-I genotype.

conclusionsGenetic relationship measurement within a breed population may be a useful tool to enable breeding strategies to conserve genetic diversity. Results from a disease panel screening need to be evaluated for clinical relevance before breed selection restrictions can be considered.
