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 genetic improvement of Rwandan indigenous chickens (IC) is becoming a priority and requires genetic characterization as the foundation for genetic improvement. The aim was to study the genetic diversity and relationship of IC from Bugesera and Rwamagana districts with SASSO chickens in Rwanda. Eighty-seven DNA samples were genotyped using Diversity Array Technology and generated 45,677 DArTseq SNPs. After the quality control, the genetic diversity and relationship were analyzed with dartR package, STRUCTURE and STRUCTURE Harvester. Only 8087 markers and 86 samples were remained for analysis. The high and low expected heterozygosity (He) were observed in Rwamagana (0.405) and SASSO (0.388) populations, respectively. The lowest difference was observed between SASSO and Rwamagana populations (0.018). The structure analysis separated IC (Cluster 1) from SASSO chickens (Cluster 2). Chickens from Rwamagana population were genetically related to SASSO indicating the uncontrolled crossbreeding. DArTseq SNPs were efficient and can be recommended for genomic studies in chickens.
