Genetic and Genomic Analysis of Cow Mortality in the Israeli Holstein Population.
Article in Genes, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
"Livability" was defined as the inverse of the probability of death. The objectives of this study were to estimate the heritability, genetic and phenotypic trends for the livability of Israeli Holstein cows; estimate the genetic and environmental correlations between livability and the nine traits included in the Israeli breeding index; estimate the effect of the inclusion of livability in the Israeli breeding index on expected genetic gains; and compute a genome-wide association study (GWAS) for livability. Seven data sets were analyzed. All data were derived from the database of the Israeli dairy cattle herd-book. The mean livability for the complete data set of 523,954 cows born from 2000 through 2016 was 89.6%. Pregnancy reduced livability by 15%. Livability generally increased with parity and days in milk within parity. Heritability of livability was 0.0082. Phenotypic and genetic trends over the 14-year period from 2000 through 2013 were -0.42% and -0.22% per year. If livability is included in the Israeli breeding index, accounting for 9% of the index, livability would increase by 1.3% and protein production would decrease by 11 kg over the next decade, as compared to the current index. A marker in proximity to the oxytocin-vasopressin locus had the greatest effect in the GWAS. Oxytocin activity in cattle affects calving-associated pathologies and maternal death. Inclusion of livability in the Israeli breeding index is not recommended.
