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

Maintaining genetic diversity is vital for biodiversity and livestock sustainability, with monitoring serving as a prerequisite for conservation strategies. As an initial step for developing future strategies, we analysed the genetic diversity and conservation priorities of 16 chicken breeds managed by a government institute in this study. The breeds were classified as native or locally adapted per FAO definitions and grouped by origin (i.e., governmental or private farms). Genetic diversity, assessed through observed and expected heterozygosity, inbreeding coefficients, and linkage disequilibrium, was high in native breeds from government institutions, such as Chungnam White Korean Native (CNW) and Gangwon Black Korean Native (GWL). Private farm breeds, including Hoeungseong-Yakdak (HYD), exhibited lower diversity. Conservation priorities based on contributions to total genetic diversity (HT) and allelic diversity (AT) revealed that locally adapted breeds, such as Cornish (S) and White Leghorn, significantly contributed to HT. Native breeds, such as CNW and Hyuin black, had higher contributions to AT. Combined assessments indicated that S, CNW, and GWL have the highest conservation priorities. Despite lower rankings, unique breeds such as HYD require targeted conservation owing to their distinctiveness. In conclusion, Korean chicken breeds such as S, CNW, and GWL are vital for maintaining genetic diversity among government-managed breeds.
