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

Mastitis remains the most economically damaging disease in the global dairy industry, and conventional genetic selection based on somatic cell score (SCS) has produced only limited gains in resistance. Epigenetic mechanisms-mitotically heritable yet environmentally responsive and largely reversible modifications that regulate gene expression without altering the DNA sequence-are now emerging as a complementary layer of biological information that can sharpen the prediction of disease susceptibility. This review summarizes current evidence on three classes of epigenetic markers associated with bovine mastitis resistance: DNA methylation, non-coding RNAs (with emphasis on microRNAs, long non-coding RNAs, circular RNAs, and small nucleolar RNAs), and histone modifications, alongside the increasingly important epitranscriptomic layer of N6-methyladenosine (m6A) RNA modification. Particular attention is given to differentially methylated regions and discriminant methylation haplotype blocks in immune-related genes, circulating and milk-derived non-coding RNA biomarkers, m6A-mediated regulation of inflammatory transcripts, and histone-mark dynamics in mammary epithelial cells challenged with
