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 Leizhou black goat is a prized indigenous breed in southern China, renowned for its superior meat quality. However, its productivity is constrained by a relatively small body size. Understanding the genetic basis of growth differences between purebred and crossbred populations is essential for designing effective conservation and breeding strategies. To this end, we conducted comparative whole-genome resequencing on 22 purebred (WL) and 50 crossbred (JN: Nubian × Leizhou) goats. Population structure was assessed via principal component analysis, and genomic regions exhibiting elevated genetic differentiation were identified using the population differentiation index (
