Multivariate Single-Step GWAS Reveals Pleiotropic Genomic Regions and Candidate Genes Associated with Male Scrotal Circumference and Female Fertility Traits in Retinta Beef Cattle.

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
Fertility is key for calf production. Direct selection for female fertility under field conditions is hindered by low accuracy and selection response. An alternative widely implemented is selection for scrotal circumference (SC), genetically correlated with daughter fertility. This study performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) to identify genomic regions and candidate loci linked to SC and female fertility in Retinta cattle. A multivariate ssGBLUP was applied using SC records from 1061 bulls, fertility-related traits from 59,254 females and genotypes from 1230 animals using the Axiom™ Bovine Genotyping v3 Array (65k). The ssGWAS revealed 23 1-Mb windows explaining >1% of additive genetic variance for SC, one on chromosome 2 and 22 on chromosome 3. Within these windows, 198 regions spanning 118 protein-coding genes and 80 RNA genes were identified. Several genes, including
