Determination of genetic associations between indels in 11 candidate genes and milk composition traits in Chinese Holstein population.
Article in BMC genetics, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 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
backgroundWe have previously identified 11 promising candidate genes for milk composition traits by resequencing the whole genomes of 8 Holstein bulls with extremely high and low estimated breeding values for milk protein and fat percentages (high and low groups), including FCGR2B, CENPE, RETSAT, ACSBG2, NFKB2, TBC1D1, NLK, MAP3K1, SLC30A2, ANGPT1 and UGDH those contained 25 indels between high and low groups. In this study, the purpose was to further examine whether these candidates have significant genetic effects on milk protein and fat traits.
resultsWith PCR product sequencing, 13 indels identified by whole genome resequencing were successfully genotyped. With association analysis in 769 Chinese Holstein cows, we found that the indel in FCGR2B was significantly associated with milk yield, protein yield and protein percentage (P = 0.0041 to 0.0297); five indels in CENPE and one indel in MAP3K1 were markedly relevant to milk yield, fat yield and protein yield (P < 0.0001 to 0.0073); polymorphism in RETSAT was evidently associated with milk yield, fat yield, protein yield and protein percentage (P = 0.0001 to 0.0237); variant in ACSBG2 affected fat yield and protein percentage (P = 0.0088 and 0.0052); one indel in TBC1D1 was with respect to fat percentage and protein percentage (P = 0.0224 and 0.0209). Significant associations were shown between indels in NLK and protein yield and protein percentage (P = 0.0012 to 0.0257); variant in UGDH was related to the milk yield (P = 0.0312). The two exonic indels in FCGR2B and CENPE were predicted to change the mRNA and protein secondary structures, and resulted in the corresponding protein dysfunction.
conclusionOur findings presented here provide the first evidence for the associations of eight functional genes with milk yield and composition traits in dairy cattle.
