Selection for Resilience in Livestock Production Systems.
Review in International journal of molecular sciences, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Selective breeding for improved animal resilience is becoming critical to increase the sustainability of production systems. Despite the existence of a genetic component for resilience, breeding for improved resilience has been limited by the absence of a consensus on its definition and quantifying method. In this work, we provide a review of (i) the definition of resilience and related concepts such as robustness, resistance, and tolerance; (ii) possible quantifying methods for resilience; (iii) its genetic background; and (iv) insights about its improvement through selective breeding. We suggest that a resilient animal may be defined as an individual that is able to cope with a perturbation(s) and rapidly bounce back to normal functioning if altered. Furthermore, since challenging conditions lead to trade-offs and, consequently, deviations between basic physiological functions, we suggest using these deviations as indicators for resilience. These resilience indicators may also be used as proxies to study the genetic determinism and background of resilience in livestock species. Finally, we discuss possible strategies to improve resilience and review the implementation of associated genetic markers for resilience indicators in selection schemes.
