Abundant β-Defensin Copy Number Variations in Pigs.
Article in Genes, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
BACKGROUND/
objectivesβ-defensins are a family of classical endogenous antimicrobial peptides involved in innate immune response. β-defensins are encoded by a large number of loci and known to show extensive copy number variations (CNVs) that may be useful as DNA markers for host resilience against pathogenic infections.
methodsWe developed a quantitative PCR-based method to estimate the genomic copy numbers of 13 pig β-defensin (
resultsWe assessed 38 animals from four pure breeds and a crossbreed and observed CNVs ranging from two to five genomic copies from
conclusionsAlthough we only analyzed 13
