TMT-based proteomic profiling of serum reveals the impact of developmental stage and generation in 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
Introduction: Xinjiang Brown cattle are an important beef breed in Northwest China. Although multigenerational selective breeding has improved their growth performance, the accompanying molecular adaptations and potential physiological trade- ofs remain insufficiently elucidated at the systemic level. This study aimed to decipher the dynamic serum proteomic profiles shaped by both ontogeny and generational selection in Xinjiang Brown cattle, and to identify the associated key proteins and pathways. Methods: Serum samples from 18 bulls across three genera- tions (A, B, C) at 3 and 9 months of age were analyzed using Tandem Mass Tag (TMT)-based quantitative proteomics. Results: Under stringent quality control (FDR < 1%), 583 high-confidence proteins were identified. Diferentially expressed proteins (DEPs) were screened using thresholds of |fold change| ≥ 1.2 and Discussion: This study reveals that the breeding strategy for Xinjiang Brown cattle prioritizes shaping a proteomic landscape that promotes growth and metabolism, potentially at the cost of atten- uated immune-vascular reactivity. The identified panel of candidate proteins pro- vides a molecular framework for evaluating breeding outcomes and designing balanced selection strategies. Follow-up research should further investigate the functions of these candidate proteins and validate their predictive value for health and production performance in independent herds.
