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

backgroundPigs are economically critical livestock andan optimal model for investigating the development and diversification of antibody repertoires. The Rongchang (RC) pig, a nationally protected indigenous breed in China, possesses unique genetic characteristics, yet genomic-level research on its antibody repertoire remains limited, as most porcine antibody studies have focused on Landrace pigs.

methodsTo decipher the genetic features of the antibody library in RC pigs, we used immunogenomic high-throughput sequencing to systematically analyze the antibody repertoires of five healthy purebred pig breeds, including two indigenous breeds (RC and BM) and three commercial breeds (Yorkshire, Duroc, and Landrace), with a focus on comparing conserved patterns and breed-specific differences in V(D)J gene utilization between Rongchang pigs and the other four breeds.

resultsAll five breeds exhibited a strong preference for a conserved subset of core

conclusionsThese results clarify the conserved and breed-specific characteristics of RC pig antibody repertoires, establishing a basis for exploring the genetic regulation of V(D)J-mediated antibody repertoire changes under varied immune conditions. This work also provides genomic support for the rational utilization of RC pig genetic resources.
