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

Anser cygnoides has a spherical crest on the beak roof, which is described as knob. However, the mechanisms affecting knob morphology are unclear. Here, we investigated the phenotypic characteristics and molecular basis of knob-size differences in Yangzhou geese. Anatomically, the knob was identified as frontal hump in the frontal area of the skull, rather than hump of upper beak. Although the frontal hump length, and height varied greatly in geese with different knob phenotypes, little was changed in the width. Histologically, knob skin in large-size knobs geese have a greater length in the stratum corneum, stratum spinosum, and stratum reticular than that in small-size knobs geese. Moveover, the 415 differentially expressed genes were found between the large knobs and small ones through transcriptome profiling. In addition, GO enrichment and KEGG pathway analysis revealed 455 significant GO terms and 210 KEGG pathways were enriched, respectively. Among these, TGF-β signaling and thyroid hormone synthesis-signaling pathways were identified to determine knob-size phenotype. Furthermore, BMP5, DCN, TSHR and ADCY3 were recognized to involve in the growth and development of knob. Our data provide comprehensive molecular determinants of knob size phenotype, which can potentially promote the genetic improvement of goose knobs.
