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

In order to gain insight into the genetic architecture of economically important traits in pigs and to derive suitable genetic markers to improve these traits in breeding programs, many studies have been conducted to map quantitative trait loci. Shortcomings of these studies were low mapping resolution, large confidence intervals for quantitative trait loci-positions and large linkage disequilibrium blocks. Here, we overcome these shortcomings by pooling four large F2 designs to produce smaller linkage disequilibrium blocks and by resequencing the founder generation at high coverage and the F1 generation at low coverage for subsequent imputation of the F2 generation to whole genome sequencing marker density. This lead to the discovery of more than 32 million variants, 8 million of which have not been previously reported. The pooling of the four F2 designs enabled us to perform a joint genome-wide association study, which lead to the identification of numerous significantly associated variant clusters on chromosomes 1, 2, 4, 7, 17 and 18 for the growth and carcass traits average daily gain, back fat thickness, meat fat ratio, and carcass length. We could not only confirm previously reported, but also discovered new quantitative trait loci. As a result, several new candidate genes are discussed, among them
