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

Teat number plays an important role in the reproductive performance of sows and the growth of piglets. However, the quantitative trait loci (QTLs) and candidate genes for the teat number-related traits in Qingping pigs remain unknown. In this study, we performed GWAS based on whole-genome single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and insertions/deletions (Indels) for the total number of teats and five other related traits in 100 Qingping pigs. SNPs and Indels of all 100 pigs were genotyped using 10× whole genome resequencing. GWAS using General Linear Models (GLM) detected a total of 28 SNPs and 45 Indels as peak markers for these six traits. We also performed GWAS for the absolute difference between left and right teat number (ADIFF) using Fixed and random model Circulating Probability Unification (FarmCPU). The most strongly associated SNP and Indel with a distance of 562,788 bp were significantly associated with ADIFF in both GLM and FarmCPU models. In the 1-Mb regions of the most strongly associated SNP and Indel, there were five annotated genes, including
