1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

The rich cattle genetic diversity in Africa has been supporting livelihoods for centuries, providing food and nutrition security, income, and socio-cultural values. Understanding the genetic architecture of African cattle is essential for conservation and sustainable breed improvement. This study assessed genome-wide diversity, population structure, admixture patterns, and gene flow in 44 cattle populations across West, East, and Southern Africa, utilizing 63,655 medium-density SNP markers. Comparative analyses incorporated South Asian zebu and European taurine breeds for reference. Genetic diversity, estimated via observed heterozygosity and inbreeding coefficients (F
