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

Precise estrus detection in sows is pivotal in increasing the productivity within the pork industry. Sows in estrus exhibit exclusive behaviors when exposed to either a live boar or the steroid pheromones androstenone and androstenol. Recently, a study employing solid-phase microextraction-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry has identified a novel salivary molecule in boars, known as quinoline. This finding has intriguing implications as a synthetic mixture of androstenone, androstenol, and quinoline induces estrus behaviors in sows. Nevertheless, the precise pheromonal characteristics of quinoline remain elusive. In this study, we validate and compare the binding efficiency of androstenone, androstenol, and quinoline with porcine olfactory receptor proteins (odorant-binding protein [OBP], pheromaxein, salivary lipocalin [SAL], and Von Ebner's gland protein [VEGP]) using molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations. All protein-ligand complexes demonstrated stability, as evidenced by the root-mean-square deviation (RMSD), root-mean-square fluctuation (RMSF), radius of gyration (
