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

Growth is a complex trait with moderate to high heritability in livestock and must be described by the longitudinal data measured over multiple time points. Therefore, the used phenotype in genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of growth traits could be either the measures at the preselected time point or the fitted parameters of whole growth trajectory. A promising alternative approach was recently proposed that combined the fitting of growth curves and estimation of single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) effects into single-step nonlinear mixed model (NMM). In this study, we collected the body weights at 35, 42, 49, 56, 63, 70, and 84 days of age for 401 animals in a crossbred population of meat rabbits and compared five fitting models of growth curves (Logistic, Gompertz, Brody, Von Bertalanffy, and Richards). The logistic model was preferably selected and subjected to GWAS using the approach of single-step NMM, which was based on 87,704 genome-wide SNPs. A total of 45 significant SNPs distributed on five chromosomes were found to simultaneously affect the two growth parameters of mature weight (A) and maturity rate (K). However, no SNP was found to be independently associated with either A or K. Seven positional genes, including
