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

Hu sheep, a famous breed in the Taihu Basin, has the advantages of non-seasonal estrus, multiple fetuses, coarse feeding tolerance, and suitability for house feeding. Runs of homozygosity (ROHs) were found to be an effective tool to detect the animal population structure and economic traits. The detection of ROHs is beneficial for reducing the incidence of inbreeding as well as identifying harmful variants in the genome. However, there is a lack of systemic reports on ruminants in previous studies of ROHs. Here, we sequenced 108 Hu sheep, detected ROHs in Hu sheep to calculate their inbreeding coefficient, and selected genes of Hu sheep breeds within the ROH islands which are relevant to agricultural economic characteristics. Then, we compared the characteristics of the occurrences of SNPs between Hu sheep and other sheep breeds, and also investigated the distribution of the frequencies of SNPs within specific gene regions of Hu sheep breeds to select their breed-specific genes. Furthermore, we performed a comparative genome and transcriptome analysis in human and sheep breeds to identify important reproduction-related genes. In this way, we found some significant SNPs, and mapped these with a set of interesting candidate genes which are related to the productive value of livestock (
