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

Background/Objetives: Sea lice (

methodstwo sea lice challenge trials were conducted, achieving high infestation rates (47.5% and 43.5%). A total of 85 fish, selected based on extreme phenotypes for lice burden (42 low, 43 high), were subjected to transcriptomic analysis. Differential gene expression was integrated with allele-specific expression (ASE) analysis to uncover cis-regulatory variation influencing host response.

resultsSixty genes showed significant ASE (

conclusionsseveral ASE genes co-localized with previously identified QTLs for sea lice resistance, indicating that cis-regulatory variants contribute to phenotypic differences in parasite susceptibility. These results highlight ASE analysis as a powerful tool to identify functional regulatory elements and provide valuable candidates for selective breeding and genomic improvement strategies in aquaculture.
