The Uptake and Deconjugation of Androstenone Sulfate in the Adipose Tissue of the Boar.
Article in Animals : an open access journal from MDPI, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
Boars express high testicular levels of sulfotransferase enzymes, and consequently, the boar taint causing compound androstenone predominantly circulates as a steroid sulfate. Androstenone sulfate is suspected to function as a steroid reservoir that can be deconjugated to provide a source of free androstenone for accumulation. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to characterize the uptake and deconjugation of androstenone sulfate in the adipose tissue of the boar. Real-time PCR was used to quantify the expression of steroid sulfatase (STS) and several organic anion transporting polypeptides (OATPs) in the adipose tissue. Additionally, [
