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

backgroundThe Jinwu pig is a novel breed created by crossbreeding Jinhua and Duroc pigs, displaying superior meat quality, strong adaptability to coarse feed, high production performance, and a rapid growth rate. However, research on its reproductive traits and genomic characteristics has not been systematically reported.

methodsIn this study, we investigated the genetic basis of reproductive traits in Jinwu pigs us-ing a genome-wide association study. We analyzed 2831 breeding records from 516 Jinwu sows to evaluate the effects of fixed factors (farrowing season, parity, and mated boar) on six reproductive traits: the total number of births (TNB), number born alive (NBA), number of healthy offspring produced (NHOP), weak litter size (WLS), number of stillbirths (NS), and number of mummies (NM).

resultsA total of 771 genome-wide significant single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and ten potential candidate genes associated with pig reproductive traits were identified:

conclusionsThese findings provide a foundation for the reproductive breeding of Jinwu pigs and offer new insights into molecular genetic breeding in pigs.
