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

backgroundMeat production from the commercial crossbred Duroc × (Landrace × Yorkshire) (DLY) pig is predominant in the pork industry, but its meat quality is often impaired by low ultimate pH (pHu). Muscle glycogen level at slaughter is closely associated with pHu and meat technological quality, but its genetic basis remains elusive. The aim of this study was to identify genes and/or causative mutations associated with muscle glycogen level and other meat quality traits by performing a genome-wide association study (GWAS) and additional analyses in a population of 610 DLY pigs.

resultsOur initial GWAS identified a genome-wide significant (P = 2.54e-11) quantitative trait locus (QTL) on SSC15 (SSC for Sus scrofa chromosome) for the level of residual glycogen and glucose (RG) in the longissimus muscle at 45 min post-mortem. Then, we demonstrated that a low-frequency (minor allele frequency = 0.014) R200Q missense mutation in the PRKAG3 (RN) gene caused this major QTL effect on RG. Moreover, we showed that the 200Q (RN
