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

Buffaloes are integral to the agricultural economies of numerous countries, providing essential contributions to milk and meat production, as well as draught power. Fertility in buffaloes is a complex quantitative trait that significantly affects both production and economic efficiency. Therefore, elucidating the genetic architecture underlying reproductive traits in buffaloes is critical for the development of sustainable breeding programs aimed at enhancing reproductive performance. This review provides an overview of the genetic basis of buffalo reproduction, summarizing recent advances in the estimation of genetic parameters for reproductive traits. It also consolidates information on genomic regions and candidate genes associated with reproductive traits, identified through genome-wide association studies (GWAS), selection signature analysis, and transcriptome profiling. Additionally, this review discusses the functional enrichment analysis and molecular networks among these candidate genes.
