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

The fatty acid composition of meat, which affects both its quality and the consumer's health, is a complex trait influenced by genetic and environmental factors. Identification of the genes influencing the fatty acid composition of meat is very important for the selection and breeding of chickens with desirable and healthier fatty acid profiles. The objective of this study was to identify functional candidate genes for fatty acid profiles of the breast meat of the Korean native chicken-red-brown line (KNC-R) through genome-wide association studies. We genotyped 382 KNC-R chickens (190 males, 192 females) using the Illumina chicken 60K single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) chip (Illumina, San Diego, CA, USA), and association tests were performed by mixed linear model in the Genome-wide Complex Trait Analysis (GCTA) software, based on mixed linear model analysis-leave-one-chromosome-out (MLMA-LOCO). We detected one SNP each on chromosomes 2 (rs13667281), 10 (rs14011157), and 22 (rs10731996) that were significantly (p < 0.05) associated with nervonic (C24:1), linoleic (C18:2), and eicosadienoic (C20:2) acids, respectively. We found 13 protein-coding genes related to lipid metabolism, including IGF2BP3, GPNMB, NPY, OSBPL3, IL6, NR2F2, GPAT4, NKX6-3, ANK1, SFRP1, ERLIN2, STAR, and PPP1R3E. Interestingly, two candidate genes (GPNMB and SFRP1) were reported to regulate the expression of genes known to be involved in fatty acid synthesis, such as the FASN, ACACA, ACLY, ELOVL, and SCD genes. Identification of functional candidate genes for fatty acid profiles might facilitate the selection and breeding of chickens with desirable and healthier fatty acids.
