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

Chicken is a major meat source globally, but excessive abdominal fat deposition in broilers reduces production efficiency and nutrient utilization. To elucidate the genetic and metabolic basis of abdominal fat deposition, multi-omics analysis was performed on 42-days-old female broilers with 12 high (FH) and 12 low (FL) abdominal fat percentages (AFP) from a cohort raised under uniform conditions. Whole-genome resequencing identified 537 potential selective genes (PSGs) within selective regions. Transcriptomic profiling of abdominal fat and liver tissues revealed 153 and 291 differentially expressed genes (DEGs), respectively, with weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) pinpointing 109 and 335 lipid-associated module hub genes (MHGs). Integrative multi-omics analysis prioritized 18 key candidate genes, and some are related to fat deposition such as FOXF1, ACSS2, USP10, and SEC16B. Furthermore, serum metabolomics uncovered 41 differential metabolites that functionally bridged hepatic regulation and fat deposition, with L-Tyrosine, pantothenic acid, and 10-hydroxydecanoic acid emerging as critical discriminators. This study provides a comprehensive framework for understanding fat deposition in poultry, offering potential targets for enhancing production efficiency.
