Genome-wide association study for wattles trait in the dairy goat breed.
Article in Animal biotechnology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Dairy goats are significant livestock that provide high-quality milk sources in the world. The wattles trait is an evident phenotypic character on the neck of a dairy goat, which is considered to be under genetic control. We collected samples of 189 dairy goats, including 94 with wattles and 95 without wattles, from four different farms and multiple dairy goat breeds. The samples were genotyped with the GeneSeek Genomic Profiler Goat 70 K SNP chip. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) in wattles have identified associations with single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at chromosome 10. In this area, an extremely strong association locus was assigned to FMN1 (Formin 1) belongs to the formin homology family and is associated with limb deformity, other candidate genes of interest confirmed for wattles were ARHGAP11A (Rho GTPase Activating Protein 11 A) and GJD2 (Gap Junction Protein Delta 2). Meanwhile, we found the presence or absence of wattles had no significant effect on milk yield. This research will provide genetic resources useful to explore genetic factors affecting the trait.
