Population structure and genetic diversity of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) using microsatellite markers from selected water bodies in southwest Ethiopia.
Article in Veterinary medicine and science, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundThe Ethiopian southwest drainage has been designated a huge potential for fishery and aquaculture development. However, the genetic diversity of Nile tilapia along the main water bodies has yet to be uncovered. Therefore, this study used microsatellite markers to assess the genetic structure and diversity of Nile cichlid (Oreochromis niloticus) populations.
methodsOne hundred and sixty-seven fish were collected from Alwero Dam, Baro River, Gilgel Gibe I Dam and Gojeb River southwest of Ethiopia. Genomic DNA was extracted from 40 tissue samples using a Qiagen DNA tissue extraction kit and genetic polymorphism was estimated using GenAlEx6.502 software.
resultsThe result showed that four loci were polymorphic and produced 3-6 alleles per locus, while the number of effective alleles (Ne) and the number of distinct alleles (Na) were 1.370 and 2.063, respectively. Observed heterozygosity (Ho) and expected heterozygosity (He) were expanded between 0.100.50 and 0.115-0.265, respectively. Baro River population revealed the highest mean expected heterozygosity of 0.265, whereas the lowest expected mean heterozygosity of 0.115 was from the Alwero Dam. The genetic differentiation between populations (FST) resulted in a moderate to a very high degree of divergence between the populations. The Alwero Dam and Gojeb River populations were the most divergent populations (FST = 0.524), unlike those from the Alwero Dam and Baro River. The genetic variation among individuals within populations was 69%, whereas 31% appeared among populations and no variation within individuals to the overall variance.
conclusionThis study confirmed the presence of significant genetic variations and differentiation among populations except between Gilgel Gibe I Dam and Gojeb River. This study highlights the genetic structure and differentiation amongst wild Nile tilapia (O. niloticus) populations in south-western Ethiopia and paves the way for selective aquaculture breeding programs in the study area.
