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
backgroundMilk production and composition are affected by genetic and environmental factors. Among key genetic regulators, the POU1F1 and DGAT1 genes play significant roles. POU1F1 affects pituitary gland functions and hormone secretion, indirectly impacting milk production. DGAT1 is crucial for milk fat synthesis. Understanding genetic variations in these genes can enhance breeding strategies for improved milk yield and quality.
objectiveThis study investigates the relationship between POU1F1 and DGAT1 genes and milk composition in cross-bred Hamdani sheep.
methodsBlood and milk samples from 70 sheep were analysed for genetic markers using PCR-RFLP technique. Statistical analysis assessed the relationship between genotypes and milk composition.
resultsResults showed that DGAT1 genotypes (CC and CT) were in Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium (HWE), whereas POU1F1 genotypes were not. C and T allele frequencies were found 0.9 and 0.1 for DGAT1, respectively. On the other hand, the frequencies of C and T alleles were 0.52 and 0.48 for POU1F1, respectively. For DGAT1 gene, CT genotypes carrying ewes had higher milk fat compared to CC genotypes (p < 0.05). However, no differences were observed in milk solids-not-fat, protein and lactose content between genotypes (p > 0.05). Effect sizes were detected as 0.83 (large) for fat percentage comparison, 0.09 (small) for percentage of solids-not-fat and 0.06 (small) for percentage of protein and lactose. Association analysis did not perform for POU1F1 gene due to low sample size in CC genotype.
conclusionThese findings suggest that DGAT1 variations may influence milk fat content, whereas POU1F1's role remains unclear due to limited genotype variation. Further research is needed to clarify genetic influences of DGAT1 and POU1F1 genes on sheep milk in cross-bred Hamdani sheep.
