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

Meat quality is one of the most important economic traits in pig breeding and production. Intramuscular fat (IMF) is a major factor that improves meat quality. To better understand the alternative splicing (AS) events underlying meat quality, long-read isoform sequencing (Iso-seq) was used to identify differential (D)AS events between the longissimus thoracis (LT) and semitendinosus (ST), which differ in IMF content, together with short-read RNA-seq. Through Iso-seq analysis, we identified a total of 56,789 novel transcripts covering protein-coding genes, lncRNA, and fusion transcripts that were not previously annotated in pigs. We also identified 456,965 AS events, among which 3930 were DAS events, corresponding to 2364 unique genes. Through integrative analysis of Iso-seq and RNA-seq, we identified 1174 differentially expressed genes (DEGs), among which 122 were DAS genes, i.e., DE-DAS genes. There are 12 overlapped pathways between the top 20 DEGs and DE-DAS genes, as revealed by KEGG (Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes) analysis, indicating that DE-DAS genes play important roles in the differential phenotype of LT and ST. Further analysis showed that upregulated DE-DAS genes are more important than downregulated ones in IMF deposition. Fatty acid degradation and the PPAR (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor) signaling pathway were found to be the most important pathways regulating the differential fat deposition of the two muscles. The results update the existing porcine genome annotations and provide data for the in-depth exploration of the mechanisms underlying meat quality and IMF deposition.
