Phuphan chicken breeds: classification as varieties or distinct breeds with three derivative groups using microsatellite genotyping.
Article in Animal bioscience, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectiveIndigenous and local breeds, such as Phuphan chickens, are vital due to their adaptability and nutritional value. However, the precise origin, historical records, and genetic diversity of Phuphan chickens remain unclear. This study aimed to evaluate origin and genetic diversity of four Phuphan chicken groups from the Phuphan Royal Development Study Centre.
methodsThis study assesses four groups of Phuphan chicken: Phuphan black 1 (SK-B1), Phuphan black 2 (KU-BM/F), Phuphan white (KU-WM/F), and Phuphan color (KU-VM/F) using 28 microsatellite markers and comparing them with those of other Thai chicken breeds within "The Siam Chicken Bioresource Project" database.
resultsThe results highlighted significant genetic diversity among these groups (mean expected heterozygosity [He] = 0.623±0.014; Allelic richness [AR] = 4.594±0.124), indicating effective management through the breeding program of the Phuphan Royal Development Study Centre. Population structure analyses revealed distinct gene pools, emphasizing the genetic uniqueness of SK-B1 relative to the other three groups. Bayesian inference validated historical genetic exchanges, primarily among KU-BM/F, KU-WM/F, and KU-VM/F, with limited exchanges involving SK-B1. This suggests that the Phuphan chicken groups share a common lineage, primarily distinguished by variations in plumage color, resulting from residual selection processes. Microsatellite markers pinpointed the loci LEI0234, MCW206, MCW0016, MCW0222, MCW0098, MCW0165, and ADL0278 as potentially subject to directional selection and associated with plumage color variation among the Phuphan chicken groups. Comparative evaluations with other Thai indigenous local chickens and red junglefowl revealed a closer affinity of SK-B1 to existing Thai chicken breeds, suggesting it may represent a variant of these breeds. Alternatively, KU-BM/F, KU-WM/F, and KU-VM/F, which exhibited comparable external characteristics, may constitute a novel breed of Phuphan chicken.
conclusionThe findings may enhance understanding on genetic architecture of Phuphan chicken groups and contribute to Thailand's economic growth while preserving the genetic diversity of the indigenous chickens.
