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

Emerging evidence suggests that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) participate in the regulation of a diverse range of biological processes. However, most studies have been focused on a few established model organisms and little is known about lncRNAs in fat-tail development in sheep. Here, the first profile of lncRNA in sheep fat-tail along with their possible roles in fat deposition were investigated, based on a comparative transcriptome analysis between fat-tailed (Lori-Bakhtiari) and thin-tailed (Zel) Iranian sheep breeds. Among all identified lncRNAs candidates, 358 and 66 transcripts were considered novel intergenic (lincRNAs) and novel intronic (ilncRNAs) corresponding to 302 and 58 gene loci, respectively. Our results indicated that a low percentage of the novel lncRNAs were conserved. Also, synteny analysis identified 168 novel lincRNAs with the same syntenic region in human, bovine and chicken. Only seven lncRNAs were identified as differentially expressed genes between fat and thin tailed breeds. Q-RT-PCR results were consistent with the RNA-Seq data and validated the findings. Target prediction analysis revealed that the novel lncRNAs may act in cis or trans and regulate the expression of genes that are involved in the lipid metabolism. A gene regulatory network including lncRNA-mRNA interactions were constructed and three significant modules were found, with genes relevant to lipid metabolism, insulin and calcium signaling pathway. Moreover, integrated analysis with AnimalQTLdb database further suggested six lincRNAs and one ilncRNAs as candidates of sheep fat-tail development. Our results highlighted the putative contributions of lncRNAs in regulating expression of genes associated with fat-tail development in sheep.
