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

Intramuscular fat content and its fatty acid composition affect porcine meat quality and its nutritional value. The present work aimed to identify genomic variants regulating the expression in the porcine muscle (Longissimus dorsi) of 45 candidate genes for lipid metabolism and fatty acid composition in three experimental backcrosses based on the Iberian breed. Expression genome-wide association studies (eGWAS) were performed between the muscle gene expression values, measured by real-time quantitative PCR, and the genotypes of 38,426 SNPs distributed along all chromosomes. The eGWAS identified 186 eSNPs located in ten Sus scrofa regions and associated with the expression of ACSM5, ACSS2, ATF3, DGAT2, FOS and IGF2 (FDR < 0.05) genes. Two expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs) for IGF2 and ACSM5 were classified as cis-acting eQTLs, suggesting a mutation in the same gene affecting its expression. Conversely, ten eQTLs showed trans-regulatory effects on gene expression. When the eGWAS was performed for each backcross independently, only three common trans-eQTL regions were observed, indicating different regulatory mechanisms or allelic frequencies among the breeds. In addition, hotspot regions regulating the expression of several genes were detected. Our results provide new data to better understand the functional regulatory mechanisms of lipid metabolism genes in muscle.
