Estimation of the genetic parameters for semen traits in Chinese Holstein bulls.
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 11 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
backgroundSemen traits are important for the widespread use of superior bulls. Thus, the objective of this study was to estimate the heritability of five semen traits, ejaculate volume (VE), progressive sperm motility (SM), sperm concentration (SC), number of sperm (NSP), and number of progressive motile sperm (NMSP), and their genetic correlations (r
resultsThe estimates of heritability for VE, SM, SC, NSP, and NMSP were 0.15, 0.12, 0.22, 0.16 and 0.12, respectively. The genetic correlations among the five semen traits ranged from 0.02 (VE and SC) to 0.99 (NSP and NMSP).
conclusionsOur findings provide useful information on the heritability of semen traits in Holstein bulls and the relationships among them, and should assist in selection for improvement of semen traits in Chinese Holstein bulls.
