A single-cell transcriptomic study of milk cells from dairy cows with divergent lactation performance.
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 2 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
High-lactation cows exhibit advantages in milk yield and quality compared to low-lactation cows; however, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Based on the demand for high-quality milk sources in the food industry, this study used single-cell sequencing technology (scRNA-seq) on the 10 × Chromium platform to analyze the milk cells of 10 Holstein cows (5 in the high-lactation group and 5 in the low-lactation group). The seven cell types included two types of epithelial cells (epithelial and secretory epithelial cells) and five types of immune cells (neutrophils, T cells, macrophages, B cells, and dendritic cells). Further sub-clustering analysis identified three epithelial cell types and nine T-cell subsets, and their differentiation paths were depicted through pseudo temporal analysis. Inter-group comparisons revealed differential genes and signaling pathways that affect lactation performance, such as lactation-related pathways (prolactin, protein export, thermogenesis) and immune-related pathways (Toll-like receptor, cytokine-receptor interaction, and NF-κB). In addition, this study elucidated the complex signaling relationships between epithelial and immune cells, especially the impact of CyPA, ICAM, and SELL signaling pathways on lactation. Moreover, additional analyses of macrophage and neutrophil subpopulations further revealed their interactions with epithelial cells, providing complementary insights into immune regulation during lactation.This study enriches the knowledge of cow lactation biology and provides a reference for the food industry to screen high-quality milk sources and optimize dairy processing technology.
