POMC gene expression, polymorphism, and the association with reproduction traits in chickens.
Article in Poultry science, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Reproduction trait is one of the most important economic traits in poultry industry. This study was aimed to investigate the mRNA expression levels, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) of POMC gene, and the association with reproduction traits in chickens. Five SNP (g.958 G > A, g.1374 G > C, g.1393 G > A, g.1817 C > T, and g.1918G > A) were detected in introns of POMC gene in 317 Zhenning yellow chickens. Association analysis revealed that g.958 G > A and g.1817 C > T showed significantly associations with fertilization rate, hatching rate of hatching eggs, and hatching rate of fertilized eggs in chickens. Simultaneously, g.1374 G > C and g.1918G > A were both associated with egg weight at 300 D of age (P < 0.05). The SNP of g.958 G > A, g.1393 G > A, and g.1817 C > T were all associated with E2 hormone levels (P < 0.05). The result of mRNA expression levels in different tissues showed that POMC mRNA expression level in the pituitary was higher than those in the other tissues and varied in different genotypes. In conclusion, the results in this study provided new evidences that polymorphisms of the POMC gene have potential effects on reproduction traits in chickens. The 5 SNP detected in this study could be potential markers for improving reproduction traits in chickens.
