Integrated transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses reveal heterosis for meat quality of Neijiang pigs.
Article in Frontiers in veterinary science, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Obese pig breeds have excellent meat quality, while lean pig breeds have high lean meat percentage and feed conversion rate. However, due to their respective shortcomings, obese pig and lean pig breeds are unable to balance production and consumption needs. Therefore, this study crossbred the obese Chinese pig breed Neijiang (NJ) with lean type Large White pigs (LW) to produce Neijiang × Large White(NL) pigs. This study compared the differences in carcass and meat quality traits between NJ pigs and NL pigs, and for the first time comprehensively analyzed the longissimus dorsi muscle of NJ pigs and NL pigs using transcriptomics and metabolomics. The results of slaughter and meat quality testing indicate that the carcass performance of NL pigs was significantly higher than that of NJ pigs, and the excellent meat quality characteristics of NJ pigs were also retained on NL pigs. The results of transcriptomics and metabolomics showed that there were 635 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and 11 significantly different metabolites (SDM) in the longissimus dorsi muscle of NJ and NL pigs. The results of multi omics joint analysis showed that betaine, uridine triphosphate, glycerol 3-phosphate, and glutathione in SDMs were enriched in the shared KEGG pathway and significantly correlated with C1QTNF12, GGA3, SLC16A6, and RXRG in DEGs. In general, it is feasible to enhance the production performance of NJ pigs through crossbreeding with LW pigs. The hybrid offspring inherit the advantages of these two varieties, maintaining excellent meat quality while also having better carcass performance.
