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

Chickens are the most abundant agricultural animals globally, with controlling abdominal fat deposition being a key objective in poultry breeding. While GWAS can identify genetic variants associated with abdominal fat deposition, the precise roles and mechanisms of these variants remain largely unclear. Here, we use male chickens from two lines divergently selected for abdominal fat deposition as experimental models. Through the integration of genomic, epigenomic, 3D genomic, and transcriptomic data, we build a comprehensive chromatin 3D regulatory network map to identify the genetic regulatory mechanisms that influence abdominal fat deposition in chickens. Notably, we find that the rs734209466 variant functions as an allele-specific enhancer, remotely enhancing the transcription of IGFBP2 and IGFBP5 by the binding transcription factor IRF4. This interaction influences the differentiation and proliferation of preadipocytes, which ultimately affects phenotype. This work presents a detailed genetic regulatory map for chicken abdominal fat deposition, offering molecular targets for selective breeding.
