Genetic Evaluation of Resilience Indicators in Holstein Cows.
Article 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 3 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
The analysis of resilience indicators was based on daily milk yields recorded from 3347 lactations of 3080 Holstein cows located on 10 farms between 2022 and 2024. Six farms used an automatic milking system. A random regression function with a fourth-degree Legendre polynomial was used to predict the lactation curve. The indicators were the natural log-transformed variance (LnVar), lag-1 autocorrelation (r-auto), and skewness (skew) of daily milk yield (DMY) deviations from the predicted lactation curve, as well as the log-transformed variance of DMY (Var). The single-step genomic prediction method (ssGBLUP) was used for genomic evaluation. A total of 9845 genotyped animals and 36,839 SNPs were included. Heritability estimates were low (0.02-0.13). The strongest genetic correlation (0.87) was found between LnVar and Var. The genetic correlation between r-auto and skew was also strong but negative (-0.73). Resilience indicators showed a negative correlation with milk yield per lactation and a positive correlation with fat and protein contents. The negative correlation between fertility and two resilience indicators may be due to the evaluation period (50th-150th day of lactation) being when cows are most often bred after calving, and a decrease in production may accompany a significant oestrus. The associations between resilience indicators and health traits (clinical mastitis, claw health) were weak but mostly favourable.
