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

Reproductive efficiency is a fundamental determinant of productivity in pig breeding programs. However, the role of the X chromosome in shaping the genetic basis of reproductive traits remains underexplored. To address this problem, Genome-Wide Association Studies were conducted to explore the genetic basis of reproductive traits in Yorkshire pigs. We collected data from 2659 Yorkshire sows, focusing on four reproductive traits across the first three parties. Statistical analyses included principal component analysis, estimation of genetic parameters, and mixed linear model association to identify SNPs and candidate genes. Heritability estimates (
