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

Body color is one of the most important traits in fish affecting species recognition, mate selection, and its economic value. Dissecting the genetic architecture underlying the body color diversity is important in tilapia. In this study, we successfully dissected the genetic architecture affecting black spot variation in two mapping populations of tilapia (a full-sib family: N = 103 & a mixed population: N = 290) using ddRAD-seq-based GWAS technology. A major QTL interval for black spot trait on ChrLG3 (9.8-14.2 Mb) with a peak located at ChrLG3_11207231 was identified. The significant correlations (P < 0.001) between genotypes and color data were validated by applying a novel microsatellite marker (SSR-BC-1). A total of 14 genome-wide significant SNPs near or under the peak of the major QTL were located in exons or introns of nfib (6) and dennd4c (8). Furthermore, qRT-PCR analysis indicated both genes were differentially expressed in the skin and brain of black and red tilapia. Our study laid a foundation for exploring the genetic mechanism of body color variation and carrying out genetic improvement for color quality in tilapia.
