Information of Growth Traits Is Helpful for Genetic Evaluation of Litter Size in Pigs.

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
Litter size is an important trait in pig production. But selection accuracy for this trait is relatively low, compared with production traits. This study, for the first time, investigated the improvement of genetic evaluation of reproduction traits such as litter size in pigs using data of production traits as an additional information source. The data of number of piglets born alive per litter (NBA), age at 100 kg of body weight (Age100), and lean meet percentage (LMP) in a Yorkshire population were analyzed, using either a single-trait model or the multitrait model that allows us to account for environmental correlation between reproduction and production traits in the situation that one individual has only one record for a production trait while multiple records for a reproduction trait. Accuracy of genetic evaluation using single-trait and multitrait models were assessed by model-based accuracy (R
