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 objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of partial loss of function (LOF) of MSTN on carcass composition and pork quality and determine whether the phenotype was influenced by the IGF2 genotype (IGF2-G3072A). Pigs (N = 44) segregating for the paternally expressed IGF2 G or A alleles were either wild-type (WT) or heterozygous (HET) for a targeted MSTN LOF allele and were harvested at 175 ± 5 days of age. Carcass composition and loin and belly quality traits were analyzed using linear models. Few significant MSTN × IGF2 genotype interactions were detected, indicating that the heterozygous MSTN phenotype was largely independent of IGF2 status. Relative to WT contemporaries, MSTN HET pigs exhibited greater dressing percentage and loin muscle area (
