Genetic factors for hematological traits in pigs.
Review in Animal genetics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Complete blood count with differential is a critical diagnostic tool for evaluating the physiological and health status of individuals by analyzing white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets. While extensively used in human medicine, the application of complete blood count biomarkers in pigs remain limited. This review focuses on the genetic architecture of hematological traits in pigs (Sus scrofa) using data from genetic association studies. By compiling data from multiple porcine studies, we identified 509 SNPs within 53 high-confidence QTL supported by more than one study. Among these, 37 QTL were homologous to human loci, with 19 containing plausible candidate genes likely to be influencing hematological traits. These genes are often linked to cytoskeletal formation, hematopoiesis, and immune function, highlighting conserved biological mechanisms across species. Our findings provide a foundation for further investigations into the genetic regulation of blood cell parameters in pigs and their implications for health, welfare, and production traits, offering potential translational insights for both veterinary and human medicine.
