Unveiling genetic variation among Bharal (Pseudois nayaur) in the Indian Himalayas using nuclear markers.
Article in Genetica, 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
Understanding the genetic structure of wild ungulate populations is essential for informed conservation planning, particularly in ecologically sensitive and topographically complex landscapes such as the Himalayas. We investigated the genetic variation in Bharal (Pseudois nayaur) populations from the western (WH) and eastern Himalayas (EH) using eight microsatellite loci. Our analysis revealed significant genetic divergence between WH and EH populations, with a Nei's genetic distance of 0.91 and a pairwise FST value of 0.14, indicating their delineation as distinct lineages. WH populations showed greater genetic affinity with the Himalayan Bharal (P. n. nayaur). In contrast, EH populations were closely related to the Chinese Bharal (P. n. szechuanensis) of the Tibetan Plateau. Hence, WH and EH Bharal represent distinct Evolutionarily Significant Units (ESUs) and should be managed as separate Management Units (MUs). It further highlighted the need for region-specific conservation strategies to safeguard the genetic integrity and ecological resilience of Bharal populations across the Indian Himalayan Region.
