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
This study was designed to identify single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of some candidate genes related to lipid metabolism and their association with carcass fat in male crossbred lambs. Hence, 96 of almost 11-month-old Booroola Merino-Afshari crossbred lambs (first-generation backcross) were used by considering their phenotypic carcass traits. Then, DNA was extracted and DNA targets were amplified using designed specific primers by PCR procedure. Identification of potential SNPs was done by a direct sequencing method for LEP, FABP4, DGAT1, GH, and TRIB3 genes using the sequencing-RFLP procedure. Then, the most probable statistical models based on additive and genotypic effects of identified SNPs in each trait were obtained by the Bayesian model averaging (BMA) approach of R software (Ver. 3.3.1) to assess the association of SNPs with traits. Detected SNPs in this study included two SNPs in exon 3 of LEP, one SNP in exon 2 of TRIB3, one SNP in intron 2 of FABP4, one SNP in 5' UTR of DGAT1, and two SNPs in 3' UTR of GH genes. For carcass weight trait, one of the identified SNP genotypes in the LEP (c.587G > A) had a higher probability in the model. Carcass weight of lambs with GA genotype was 2.46 kg heavier than GG genotype. Also, two genes of TRIB3 and GH2 had the highest probability in the models of fat tail and waste weight, respectively. Based on the results, these polymorphisms can be used in the marker-assisted selection of breeding programs and designing DNA chips for genomic selection.
