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 Mapuche fowl is one of the most representative animal genetic resources in Chile, traditionally maintained in small-scale backyard production systems. Despite its cultural and productive relevance, genomic studies evaluating its genetic diversity and population structure remain limited. The objective of this study was to characterize the genetic diversity and population structure of the Mapuche fowl using genome-wide SNP markers obtained through DArTseq technology. A total of 91 chickens representing seven populations-including three Mapuche fowl subtypes, Gallina de la Pasión, two commercial breeds, and one commercial hybrid line, were analyzed using 43,017 high-quality SNP markers generated through DArTseq. Genetic diversity parameters, population differentiation (FST), multivariate analyses (PCA and DAPC), phylogenetic relationships, population structure based on sNMF, and analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) were evaluated. The results revealed intermediate levels of genetic diversity across populations, with expected heterozygosity ranging from 0.166 to 0.236. The Mapuche fowl varieties showed the highest levels of genetic diversity and formed a closely related genetic group with low levels of differentiation (FST = 0.026-0.032). In contrast, commercial breeds exhibited greater genetic divergence. Population structure analyses consistently showed clear differentiation between commercial and local populations, while the Mapuche fowl varieties shared ancestry components and clustered closely together. AMOVA indicated that most genetic variation occurred within populations (72.93%), whereas 13.25% was attributed to differences among populations. These findings highlight the genetic uniqueness of the Mapuche fowl and provide a genomic basis for its conservation and sustainable management as a valuable poultry genetic resource in Chile.
