The genetic architecture of complete blood counts in lactating Holstein dairy cows.
Article in Frontiers in genetics, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Complete blood counts (CBCs) measure the abundance of individual immune cells, red blood cells, and related measures such as platelets in circulating blood. These measures can indicate the health status of an animal; thus, baseline circulating levels in a healthy animal may be related to the productive life, resilience, and production efficiency of cattle. The objective of this study is to determine the heritability of CBC traits and identify genomic regions that are associated with CBC measurements in lactating Holstein dairy cattle. The heritability of CBCs was estimated using a Bayes C0 model. The study population consisted of 388 cows with genotypes at roughly 75,000 markers and 16 different CBC phenotypes taken at one to three time points (n = 33, 131, and 224 for 1, 2, and 3 time points, respectively). Heritabilities ranged from 0.00 ± 0.00 (red cell distribution width) to 0.68 ± 0.06 (lymphocytes). A total of 96 different 1-Mb windows were identified that explained more than 1% of the genetic variance for at least one CBC trait, with 10 windows explaining more than 1% of the genetic variance for two or more traits. Multiple genes in the identified regions have functions related to immune response, cell differentiation, anemia, and disease. Positional candidate genes include RAD52 motif-containing protein 1 (
