Population structure and inbreeding in Harnali sheep through pedigree analysis.
Article in Tropical animal health and production, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The present investigation was carried out to study population structure using pedigree records and to estimate the inbreeding coefficient in closed flock of Harnali sheep. The data records consisted whole population with 2404 animals produced over 24 years (1998-2021) and reference population of 466 animals (year 2018 to 2021) were obtained from closed flock of Harnali sheep at Department of Animal Genetics and Breeding, LUVAS, Hisar (India). The pedigree under analysis included a maximum of nine generations, with 452 animals used as founder. The results showed that mean maximum, complete, and equivalent generations were 3.20, 1.51 and 2.17, respectively. The effective population size was estimated as 202.63. Number of founders contributing to reference population and effective number of founders (fe) for reference population were 115 and 21. The mean average relatedness and generation interval in whole and reference population were 1.86 and 2.19%, and 4.49 ± 0.06 and 4.19 ± 0.10 years, respectively. The average inbreeding rate among studied population was 0.46% in whole population and 0.50% in reference population. Estimated average relatedness (AR) suggested limited allele sharing within the population. The results of general linear modeling showed that there was no significant (P > 0.05) association of inbreeding on various growth and reproduction traits in studied animals. The study concludes that to minimize generation intervals and counteract inbreeding within the closed flock of Harnali sheep, it's imperative to utilize pedigree records to select unrelated sires and to commence the selection of breeding stock at an early stage. These actions could be vital for enhancing genetic advancement and preserving genetic diversity within the flock.
