1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

The bovine leukocyte antigen (BoLA) gene is a significant genetic part of the immune system and has been used as a disease marker in cattle. In this study, we detected Theileria orientalis, T. sinensis, Anaplasma marginale, Anaplasma platys, Candidatus Mycoplasma haemobos and Trypanosoma evansi by PCR amplification and sequencing of the amplicons. The allelic association of the BoLA-DRB3.2 gene with blood pathogen disease resistance and susceptibility in 87 Kedah-Kelantan x Brahman (KKB) and 38 Bali cattle was determined by Fisher's exact test and Cochran Mantel Haenszel (CMH) correction test. Sequence-based typing of the BoLA-DRB3.2 gene identified 43 alleles (27 previously reported alleles and 16 novel alleles) across the two cattle breeds. Alignment analysis of the 16 novel alleles revealed 90.7-95.8% and 85-92% nucleotide and amino acid identities, with the reference allele, BoLA-DRB3*016:01 cDNA clone NR-1. BoLA-DRB3*009:02 (25.6%) and BoLA-DRB3*036:01 (36%) were the most frequent alleles in KKB and Bali cattle, respectively. In KKB cattle, BoLA-DRB3*020:02:01 was significantly associated with resistance to T. orientalis whereas *007:01 and *009:02 were significantly associated with resistance to C. Mycoplasma haemobos. Also, DRB3*017:01 was associated with susceptibility to T. orientalis in KKB cattle. In the Bali cattle, BoLA-DRB3*015:01 was found to be a genetic marker of susceptibility to C. Mycoplasma haemobos infection. Therefore, this study identified BoLA-DRB3.2 alleles associated with resistance and susceptibility to T. orientalis infection in KKB cattle and susceptibility to C. Mycoplasma haemobos infection in Bali cattle for the first time. Therefore, this study suggests that these BoLA-DRB3 resistance alleles could be used as candidate markers for selection, whereas susceptibility alleles could be used as candidate markers for culling in the beef industry.
