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

Egg quality is a critical economic trait in poultry production, influencing consumer preference and production efficiency. The genetic and epigenetic regulation of egg quality involves complex biological pathways across various traits such as shell quality, albumen composition, and yolk biochemistry. This review synthesizes recent advances in the genetic, molecular, and epigenetic mechanisms that determine poultry egg quality. Specifically, it focuses on external traits such as eggshell strength, color, and thickness, and internal traits including albumen height, yolk composition, and the Haugh unit. Through genome-wide association studies (GWAS), quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping, whole-genome sequencing (WGS), and multi-omics approaches, key candidate genes such as
