Genetic diversity in the Criollo Argentino horse from SNP array data.
Article in Genetica, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The Criollo Argentino horse is a national symbol and a heritage breed that represents both cultural identity and a key component of traditional production systems in Argentina. This study aimed to assess the genetic differentiation of the Criollo Argentino relative to other horse breeds and to infer potential factors shaping its diversity through the genomic analysis of 24 representative animals. Samples were genotyped using a medium-density SNP array containing 65,157 markers, and genetic diversity analyses were conducted across autosomal SNP sets filtered under different criteria. Contemporary effective population size was estimated using both linkage disequilibrium from SNP data (Ne = 155.6) and pedigree analysis (fe = 157.7), showing remarkable consistency between genomic and genealogical approaches. Measures of expected heterozygosity, Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium, and linkage disequilibrium showed that Criollo Argentino horses retain moderate to high levels of genetic variability. Results further revealed that the Criollo Argentino is a genetically well-defined population with high within-individual diversity and clear differentiation from other breeds. In addition, the Criollo Argentino population was compared with eight other horse breeds to evaluate genetic distance and population structure. Estimates of genetic distance, population structure, and fixation index values were consistent with the documented history and development of the breed, while PCA and Bayesian clustering analyses supported a shared origin between the Criollo Argentino and the Peruvian Paso, both derived from Iberian horses introduced to the Americas during colonization. Overall, this work provides genomic evidence that strengthens the historical and biological characterization of the Criollo Argentino and supports informed decision-making for breeding, management, genetic improvement, and conservation programs for the breed.
