Genome-wide unraveling SNP pairwise epistatic effects associated with sheep body weight.
Article in Animal biotechnology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Epistatic effects are an important part of the genetic effect of complex traits in livestock. In this study, we used 218 synthetic ewes from the Xinjiang Academy of Agricultural Reclamation in China to identify interacting paired with genome-wide single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with birth weight, weaning weight, and one-yearling weight. We detected 2 and 66 SNP-SNP interactions of sheep birth weight and weaning weight, respectively. No significant epistatic interaction of one-year-old body weight was detected. The genetic interaction of sheep body weight is dynamic and time-dependent. Most significant interactions of weaning body weight contributed 1% or higher. In the weaning weight trait, 66 significant SNP pairs consisted of 98 single SNPs covering 23 chromosomes, 5 of which were nonsynonymous SNPs (nsSNPs), resulting in single amino acid substitution. We found that genes that interact with transcription factors (TFs) are target genes for the corresponding TFs. Four epitron networks affecting weaning weight, including subnetworks of
