Temporal RNA-seq atlas of breast muscle development in purebred and crossbred broilers.
Article in Scientific data, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Commercial broilers are known for their rapid growth rates and high meat yield, constitute a major source of protein in the human diet. Increasing meat production is an important objective in the poultry industry, with breast meat yield playing a critical role in determining total meat output. Previous gene expression profiles have largely ignored the distinctions between embryonic myogenesis and postnatal growth stages. Therefore, multi-stage transcriptional atlases of breast muscle are essential for advancing our understanding of muscle development and enhancing meat production in broilers. In this study, we sequenced 72 breast muscle samples collected at embryonic day 17 and post-hatching days 1, 21, and 42 across Cornish purebred, White Plymouth Rock purebred, and their crossbred progeny. A total of 460.76 Gb of high-quality bulk RNA-seq data were generated from six biological replicates per group at each time point. This dataset can be used to study molecular networks during muscle development, and serves as a reference model for comparative analyses of growth heterosis in animals.
