Extraction, structural characterization and SNP identification of related genes of collagen from local pigs in Guizhou.
Article in BMC genomics, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
backgroundCollagen, as one of the important components of living organisms, plays a crucial role in supporting and maintaining tissue structure and biological functions. The local pig breed in Guizhou is renowned for its elastic skin, tender meat, and excellent taste. The collagen content in pig skin accounts for approximately 87.7% of the protein content. However, as a by-product after slaughter, the utilization rate of pig skin is not high. Additionally, the content and structural characteristics of collagen have a certain impact on the quality of meat.
methodIn this study, the skin and longissimus dorsi muscle of local pig breeds in Guizhou (Qiannan pig, Baixi pig, Qianbei pig, Zongdi pig, Kele pig, Congjiang pig) were used as raw materials to optimize the extraction method of collagen, and to explore the differences in the content, type and structure of collagen in the skin and longissimus dorsi muscle tissues of different pig breeds. Based on whole-gene resequencing technology, the screening and identification of differential genes and variant sites in three pig breeds, namely the two pig breeds with the greatest differences in collagen content (Baixi pig and Kele pig) and the pig breed with differences in collagen structure in skin tissue (Zongdi pig), were completed. RESULTS AND
conclusionsThis study determined that the optimal conditions for extracting collagen from local pig tissues in Guizhou are: pH 2.0, enzyme dosage 2%, feed-to-liquid ratio 1:20 (w/v), temperature 37℃, enzymatic hydrolysis time 8 h. Based on the experimental results, it is speculated that the difference in collagen content in the tissues of white-washed pigs and Kela pigs may be related to the COL1A1 and COL4A4 genes and their SNP loci. The structural differences in collagen in the skin of Zongdi pigs may be related to the COL4A3 and COL4A4 genes and their SNP loci, which is helpful to reveal the molecular mechanism of the skin characteristics of local pig breeds in Guizhou, open up new ways for the breeding of characteristic pig breeds in Guizhou.
