Inbreeding depression of reproductive traits in Japanese Black cattle using genomic information.

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
objectiveThe objective of this study was to evaluate genomic inbreeding in Japanese Black cattle and its effects on reproductive traits.
methodsThe study analyzed reproductive records and single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) data from Japanese Black cattle born between 2001 and 2005, resulting in 8,553 records from large farms. Genomic inbreeding was assessed using SNP data from 782 animals. Key reproductive traits analyzed included age at first calving (AFC) and calf production index (CPI). Statistical models were employed to estimate fixed effects and inbreeding depression.
resultsFindings indicated that genomic inbreeding levels were generally higher than traditional inbreeding coefficients. Significant inbreeding depression was observed in CPI but not in AFC. Specific chromosomes (12, 15, 27 for CPI and 4 for AFC) showed significant associations with inbreeding depression. Key genes related to reproduction were identified, particularly on chromosome 15.
conclusionThe study concludes that genomic inbreeding effectively detects inbreeding depression related to reproductive abilities in Japanese Black cattle. The results highlight the importance of genomic assessment in breeding practices to enhance reproductive performance while maintaining genetic diversity in the breed.
