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

Ovulation rate is an extremely important factor affecting litter size in sows. It differs greatly among pig breeds with different genetic backgrounds. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) can regulate follicle development, granulosa cell growth, and hormone secretion, which in turn can affect sow litter size. In this study, we identified 3554 lncRNAs and 25,491 mRNAs in M2 follicles of Meishan and Duroc sows. The lncRNA sequence and open reading frame lengths were shorter than mRNAs, and lncRNAs had fewer exons, were less abundant, and more conserved than protein-coding RNAs. Furthermore, 201 lncRNAs were differentially expressed (DE) between breeds, and quantitative trait loci analysis of DE lncRNAs were performed. A total of 127 DE lncRNAs were identified in 119 reproduction trait-related loci. In addition, the potential target genes of lncRNAs in cis or trans configurations were predicted. Gene ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway analysis revealed that some potential target genes were involved in follicular development and hormone secretion-related biological processes or pathways, such as progesterone biosynthetic process, estrogen metabolic process, ovarian steroidogenesis, and PI3K-Akt signaling pathway. Furthermore, we also screened 19 differentially expressed lncRNAs in the PI3K-Akt signaling pathway as candidates. This study provides new insights into the roles of lncRNAs in follicular growth and development in pigs.
