A Genetic Investigation of Island Jersey Cattle, the Foundation of the Jersey Breed: Comparing Population Structure and Selection to Guernsey, Holstein, and United States Jersey Cattle.

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
For two centuries, Jersey cattle were exported globally, adapting to varying climates and production systems, yet the founding population remained genetically isolated on the Island of Jersey. The Island of Jersey formally allowed the importation of pure Jersey cattle in 2008. This study characterized the genetic variation of 49 popular bulls from the Island of Jersey born from 1964 to 2004 and compared them to 47 non-Island Jersey bulls and cows, primarily from the United States In addition, 21 Guernsey cattle derived from the Island of Guernsey and 71 Holstein cattle served as reference populations for genetic comparison. Cattle were genotyped on the Illumina BovineHD Beadchip producing 777,962 SNPs spanning the genome. Principal component analysis revealed population stratification within breed reflective of individual animal's continental origin. When compared to Holstein and Guernsey, all Jersey clustered together by breed. The Jersey breed demonstrated increased inbreeding in comparison to Holstein or Guernsey with slightly higher estimates of inbreeding coefficients and identity-by-descent. The Island and United States Jersey have relatively similar, yet statistically different inbreeding estimates despite vastly different population sizes and gene flow. Signatures of selection within Island Jersey were identified using genome-wide homozygosity association and marker-based F
