Potential Candidate Genes Associated with Litter Size in Goats: A Review.
Review in Animals : an open access journal from MDPI, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
This review examines genetic markers associated with litter size in goats, a key reproductive trait impacting productivity in small ruminant farming. Goats play a vital socioeconomic role in both low- and high-income regions; however, their productivity remains limited due to low reproductive efficiency. Litter size, influenced by multiple genes and environmental factors, directly affects farm profitability and sustainability by increasing the output per breeding cycle. Recent advancements in genetic research have identified key genes and pathways associated with reproductive traits, including gonadotropin-releasing hormone (
