Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Single-Nucleotide Polymorphisms Versus Microsatellites for Parentage Verification in Horse Breeds.
Article in Veterinary sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
This study aimed to generate information for parentage testing in horse breeds using microsatellites (STRs) and single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Genotype data were obtained from 189 horse hair root samples, including 38 Thoroughbreds (TBs), 17 Jeju horses (JHs), 20 Quarter horses (QHs), 21 American Miniatures (AMs), and 93 Mongolian horses (MHs), using 15 STR markers and 71 SNP markers. Comparative analysis revealed that the mean expected heterozygosity ranged from 0.468 (AM) to 0.491 (JH) for SNPs and from 0.695 (TB) to 0.791 (MH) for STRs. The mean observed heterozygosity ranged from 0.415 (AM) to 0.487 (MH) for SNPs and from 0.706 (JH) to 0.776 (MH) for STRs. The mean polymorphic information content ranged from 0.349 (AM) to 0.364 (MH) for SNPs and from 0.635 (TB) to 0.761 (MH) for STRs. The inbreeding coefficient ranged from -0.009 (MH) to 0.113 (AM) for SNPs and from -0.058 (TB) to 0.043 (AM) for STRs. The cumulative exclusion probability (PE) for the 71-SNP panel exceeded 0.9999, indicating that SNP markers may be sufficient for parentage testing. In comparison, the STR markers yielded a combined PE of 0.9988 when one parent was known and 0.9999 when both parents were known. These findings highlight the potential of SNPs as alternatives to STRs for routine paternity verification in horses.
