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

backgroundParatuberculosis (Johne's disease, JD) is a chronic and enteric disease in a range of ruminants, often caused by Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP) infection, leading to substantial economic losses worldwide. Yet, the molecular underpinning of paratuberculosis remains elusive. Here we performed RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) and small RNA sequencing (sRNA-seq) of the jejunum tissues from the Holstein cows with three distinct statuses of paratuberculosis, i.e., healthy, subclinical, and clinical to screen potential genes, lncRNAs, and miRNAs associated with the resistance or susceptibility to MAP infection and build ceRNA regulatory networks via miRNAs.

resultsWe applied whole transcriptome sequencing analysis to examine the jejunum tissue in nine Holstein cows. Starting with 19,994 expressed genes, 13,529 lncRNAs, and 735 miRNAs, we screened out differentially expressed genes (DEGs), lncRNAs, and miRNAs of three comparison groups, i.e., clinical vs. healthy, subclinical vs. healthy, and clinical vs. subclinical, subsequently identifying ceRNA pairs. Ultimately, we detected 76, 74, and 24 DEGs, 19, 39, and 10 lncRNAs, as well as 28, 61, and 20 miRNAs across the three comparison groups, respectively. Through integrating these DEGs with functional annotation, previously reported QTLs, and GWAS results, we proposed eight genes (LYZ, LYZ1, BOLA-DQB, BOLA-DQA1, TAP, CATD, VNN1, and PPARG), six lncRNAs, 48 miRNAs, and 107 ceRNA pairs implying their potential associations with susceptibility to MAP infection.

conclusionThe present study provided a global view of the dynamics in transcriptomes of the bovine jejunum tissues in terms of JD status. Our results demonstrated that not only mRNAs but also lncRNAs and miRNAs played important roles in regulating MAP infection in dairy cattle. This study provided a valuable resource for understanding the molecular basis of JD, potentially contributing to the genetic improvement of JD resistance in dairy cattle.
