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

Low fertility in cows leads to early removal from herds. Since reproductive traits are complex and have low heritability, genetic analysis can aid in improving reproduction. This study identified key genes linked to fertility by conducting genome- and transcriptome-wide association studies, RNA-seq analysis, meta-analysis, weighted gene co-expression network analysis, and functional enrichment analysis. Through these methods, we identified candidate genes related to Cow conception rate (CCR), Daughter pregnancy rate (DPR), Heifer conception rate (HCR), and overall fertility traits, helping to improve genetic selection for reproductive success in cows. The identified genes include RPL12, FKBP1B, FZD10, COX10, COX7A2, GAA, ETFBKMT, ACSM5, NUDT9, TIGAR, PAIP2, and PSMB5. Notably, GAA, ETFBKMT, COX10, and COX7A2 are involved in the "generation of precursor metabolites and energy" process. COX10, GAA, ETFBKMT, ACSM5, NUDT9, and TIGAR exhibit significant impacts on CCR, DPR, and HCR. COX7A2, PAIP2, and PSMB5 have been identified as hub genes related to fertility traits. RPL12 plays a role in protein synthesis, essential for gametogenesis and embryo development, while FKBP1B regulates calcium signaling, particularly in oocyte aging and fertility decline, and FZD10 is crucial in Wnt signaling. The identified genes serve as markers for genomic selection aimed at enhancing reproductive traits in cow.
