GWAS Reveals Key Candidate Genes Associated with Milk-Production in Saanen Goats.

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
Milk-production is one of the most important economic traits in dairy goats. Fundamentally, increasing milk-production at the genetic level can provide potential genetic markers for improving milk-production in dairy goats. Previous studies have shown that milk-production traits in dairy goats are highly polygenic and can be influenced by multiple genes. We therefore performed high-throughput sequencing on 350 Saanen dairy goats and conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) on the sequencing and production data. A total of 9,667,930 valid SNPs were identified, among which approximately 51% of the mutations were synonymous changes, and apart from unknown mutations, only a few changes affected gene expression. Finally, 318 SNP loci and 244 candidate genes were selected. We selected 10 loci most likely to influence these traits for large-scale population-based identification. Finally, four candidate genes,
