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

The majority of native cattle in the central region of China are taurine × indicine cattle with diverse phenotypes. Zaosheng cattle, a native Chinese breed from Gansu Province, exhibit excellent meat quality and good adaptability. This cattle breed is still in the development phase from a drought type to a beef breed. To further study Zaosheng cattle, we used whole-genome sequencing data from 19 Zaosheng cattle samples and 91 published samples to understand their genetic diversity, population structure, and environmental adaptation. We provided a comprehensive overview of the sequence variation to explore the genetic changes in Zaosheng cattle due to environmental adaptation. According to genetic composition analysis, this study demonstrated that Zaosheng cattle are derived primarily from East Asian indicine cattle and East Asian cattle; specifically, Zaosheng and Qinchuan cattle are the most genetically similar. Through ancestral fragment inference and selective sweep analysis, we identified several genes linked to lipid metabolism, immune regulation, fertility, and meat quality across the mosaic genome of Zaosheng cattle, revealing numerous indicators of taurine or indicine ancestry. In summary, this study provides essential genetic insights into the genome diversity of Zaosheng cattle, while establishing a foundation for conserving their genetic resources and improving crossbreeding.
