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

backgroundDucks are globally important poultry species and a major source of farm animal products, including meat, eggs, and feathers. A thorough understanding of the functional genomic and transcriptomic sequences is crucial for improving production efficiency.

resultThis study constructed the largest duck mRNA expression atlas among all waterfowl species to date. The atlas encompasses 1,257 tissue samples across 30 tissue types, representing all major organ systems. Using advanced clustering analysis, we established co-expression network clusters to describe the transcriptional features in the duck mRNA expression atlas and, when feasible, assign these features to unique tissue types or pathways. Additionally, we identified 27 low-variance, highly expressed housekeeping genes suitable for gene expression experiments. Furthermore, in-depth analysis revealed potential sex-biased gene expression patterns within tissues and specific gene expression profiles in meat-type and egg-type ducks, providing valuable resources to understand the genetic basis of sex differences and particular phenotypes. This research elucidates the biological processes affecting duck productivity.

conclusionThis study presents the most extensive gene expression atlas for any waterfowl species to date. These findings are of significant value for advancing duck biological research and industrial applications.
