Integrating miRNAs with QTL for identification of milk and reproduction related traits in dairy cattle.
Article in Genes & genomics, 2025. 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
backgroundDairy cattle are economically important animal resources contributing to human health and well-being by providing nutritious milk and other products. Non-coding RNAs are involved in biological processes, regulating gene expressions at the levels of messenger. However, the effects on miRNA expression and their function in dairy cattle are still unclear.
objectiveWe aimed to understand better miRNA expressions associated with milk and reproduction quantitative trait loci (QTLs) and their locations in dairy cattle.
methodsIn this study, miRNA profiling was performed in blood samples collected from three non-pregnant cows using the Illumina HiSeq 2500 platform. The expression levels of miRNAs were estimated by miRDeep2 and QTLs associated with milk and reproduction were identified using cattleQTLdb. Functional enrichment analysis was performed to determine biological functions or pathways using DAVID.
resultsIn total, 406 known and 562 novel expressed miRNAs were identified in three dairy cattle using miRDeep2. A total of 27,652 and 31,064 QTLs associated with milk and reproduction traits were identified by QTL mapping for known and novel miRNAs, respectively. Of these, 1835 and 1020 miRNAs were related to milk and reproduction traits, respectively.
conclusionOur study provides a basis for further research to understand the miRNA expressions in dairy cattle and their role in milk and reproduction traits. We suggest that miRNAs may be helpful as biomarkers for improving milk and reproduction traits in dairy cattle through genetic selection.
