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

In India, goats are considered to be one of the important livestock species that reinforce the rural economy. Even though India has 23 well-recognized goat breeds, the knowledge about their genetic diversity and domestication history is limited. In this study, we have analyzed the genetic diversity of 104 goats representing five different south Indian breeds using mtDNA D-loop region. The haplotype diversity of the breeds ranged from 0.9524 ± 0.0403 (Malabari) to 0.9921 ± 0.0154 (Kanni aadu). Analysis of molecular variance showed only 1.05% variation among breeds. On other hand, the variation within breed was remarkably high (98.95%) which suggested the weak phylogeographic structure of south Indian goats. The phylogenetic analysis revealed three haplogroups representing maternal lineages namely A, B and D. The analysis of 466 Indian goat sequences showed an additional lineage C. As reported in the previous studies, a major fraction of analyzed goats fell into haplogroup A. Our study confirms the presence of three maternal lineages for south Indian domestic goats.
