Genome-Wide Association Study for Body Length, Body Height, and Total Teat Number in Large White Pigs.

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
Body length, body height, and total teat number are economically important traits in pig breeding, as these traits are usually associated with the growth, reproductivity, and longevity potential of piglets. Here, we report a genetic analysis of these traits using a population comprising 2,068 Large White pigs. A genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) approach was used to provide high-density genome-wide SNP discovery and genotyping. Univariate and bivariate animal models were used to estimate heritability and genetic correlations. The results showed that heritability estimates for body length, body height, and total teat number were 0.25 ± 0.04, 0.11 ± 0.03, and 0.22 ± 0.04, respectively. The genetic correlation between body length and body height exhibited a strongly positive correlation (0.63 ± 0.15), while a positive but low genetic correlation was observed between total teat number and body length. Furthermore, we used two different genome-wide association study (GWAS) approaches: single-locus GWAS and weighted single-step GWAS (WssGWAS), to identify candidate genes for these traits. Single-locus GWAS detected 76, 13, and 29 significant single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with body length, body height, and total teat number. Notably, the most significant SNP (S17_15781294), which is located 20 kb downstream of the
