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

backgroundJingyuan (JY) chicken breed is one of the Chinese regional livestock and poultry genetic resources protection breeds raised in Ningxia, China. The phenotypic characteristics of JY chickens, such as feather color, skin color, and meat quality, exhibit distinct local traits, but the genetic foundation remains unclear.

resultsThis study utilized whole-genome resequencing to analyze the genetic structure, genome diversity, selection signals, and genes associated with meat quality, growth and development of the Ningxia JY chicken breed. The results showed that JY chicken exhibited a relatively independent genetic structure compared to other local chicken breeds in China. Selective sweep analysis identified several genes and biological processes/pathways such as the FGF family, ANKRD family, PPARα, and HSP family, which are related to growth and metabolism. Through machine learning analysis, 7 breed specific loci were identified in the genome of JY chickens.

conclusionJY chickens exhibit relatively low genetic diversity and have distinct genetic backgrounds compared to other chicken breeds studied. These results help us understand the traits and utilization potential of JY chicken germplasm resources.
