Genomic diversity and selection signatures in Asian Zebu Cattle: insights into adaptation and genetic erosion.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Indigenous cattle breeds in Asia are highly adapted to their local environments providing essential commodities such as meat, milk and draught power while also playing a key role in traditional ceremonies, and sports. Despite ongoing efforts to characterize and conserve these breeds, the increasing trend of indiscriminate crossbreeding of Zebu cattle with high-yielding taurine breeds, threatens their genetic diversity. This study investigates the population structure, inbreeding levels, effective population size, gene flow and identification of selection footprints of Asian Zebu (Bos indicus) cattle. Using an Axiom 60 K SNP chip, we analyzed genotypes from 1303 cattle across 36 populations in nine countries, including seven taurine outgroups and 29 Zebu populations from Bangladesh, Cambodia, India, Myanmar, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. Zebu populations demonstrated moderate genetic diversity, with heterozygosity levels averaging 0.356, inbreeding coefficients ranging from 0.026 to 0.074 and genetic differentiation (F
