The blood transcriptome of musk deer under heat stress condition reveals the regulatory mechanism of genes to maintain homeostasis metabolism.
Article in BMC genomics, 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
backgroundHeat stress has a significant adverse impact on both livestock and poultry production, posing a considerable challenge to the artificial breeding of forest musk deer. However, there is a lack of studies on the heat stress of forest musk deer, so it is necessary to understand the effects of temperature and humidity index (THI) variation on these animals.
resultsIn according to the local climate characteristics, blood samples were collected during four periods (April, June, July and August) for biochemical indicators and transcriptome sequencing. The results showed that blood cortisol and corticosterone concentrations increased significantly in July (THI = 74.89, P < 0.05). Moreover, Na
conclusionsResearch indicates that heat stress disrupts the normal metabolism of forest musk deer and adversely affects their immune system, which is attributed to the THI exceeding the threshold that forest musk deer can tolerate. The findings of this study provide valuable data support for the scientific breeding of captive forest musk deer and enhance the understanding of the immune dynamics of ruminants under heat stress.
