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

objectivesThe Ixworth chicken is a British dual-purpose breed and mostly maintained by small-scale farmers. Due to legislation regarding the ban on male chick culling in European countries, such as in Germany, renewed interest has arisen in rearing dual-purpose chickens that provide both meat and eggs from the same genetic line. This dataset was generated within the scope of projects aiming to evaluate the viability of dual-purpose breeds for sustainable and welfare-oriented poultry production. One of the objectives was to characterize the genetic potential of the Ixworth chicken as a model for breeding programs that combine conservation and practical use in ecological farming systems. DATA DESCRIPTION: Liver samples from 49 male Ixworth chickens were collected after scheduled slaughter at the Campus Frankenforst of the Faculty of Agricultural, Nutritional and Engineering Sciences of the University of Bonn, Germany. Genomic DNA was extracted and subjected to whole-genome resequencing using the Illumina NovaSeq 6000 platform. The dataset provides high-resolution genomic information on a rare breed with a pure dual-purpose background. This resource represents the first public sequencing dataset of the Ixworth chicken and thus offers a valuable foundation for future studies on genetic diversity, conservation genomics, and breeding strategies for sustainable poultry production.
