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

As an important reproductive trait, teat number plays a vital role in the pork industry, which is related to the ability of sows to host more piglets. However, the genetic mechanism of the teat number in pigs is still not very clear. We collected phenotype data, including the total teat number (TTN), left teat number (LTN), and right teat number (RTN), from 300 Jishen Black (JSB) sows and performed genotyping using a porcine SNP 50K panel. Most JSB sows exhibited 14, 15, or 16 TTN (259, 86%). Only 41 pigs (14%) had TTN values outside this range. Moreover, the LTN and TTN exhibited approximate frequency distribution in the studied population. Seven was the most common LTN and RTN in JSB sows, accounting for 181 (60%) and 173 (57%), respectively. Additionally, these traits exhibited low-to-medium heritability (0.14-0.22). Using the BLINK and FarmCPU models, three, six, and three key loci were identified in the GWAS of TTN, LTN, and RTN, respectively. Additionally, five key genes were detected to play vital roles in teat number traits, including
