Identification of Candidate Genes and Functional Pathways Associated with Body Size Traits in Hulunbuir Sheep Through GWAS Analysis.
Article in Genes, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
(1) Background: The Hulunbuir sheep is a Chinese local sheep breed with good meat quality and exceptional cold-stress resilience. However, the growth performance of the Hulunbuir sheep is lower when compared to that of commercial breeds. Growth traits such as body weight and body size are critical, as they directly influence the meat production in sheep farming. Employing genome-wide association studies can identify SNPs and candidate genes related to growth traits in Hulunbuir sheep. (2) Methods: The chest girth (CG), cannon circumference (CC), hip width (HW), body height (BH), and body length (BL) of 799 Hulunbuir sheep were measured. All the animals were divided into three groups according to their age (Group 1: 0-6 months old, Group 2: 12-24 months old, Group 3: 48-70 months old). Subsequently, genotyping was carried out using the Sheep 40K liquid chip. A multi-trait genome-wide association study (MT-GWAS) was performed for each group of animals. (3) Results: A total of three candidate genes (
