1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundPiroplasmosis, including Theileriosis and Babesiosis, poses a threat to livestock health and productivity worldwide. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying breed-specific differences in resistance to piroplasmosis remain poorly understood. Compared to Bos taurus, Bos indicus generally exhibits greater resistance to diseases such as piroplasmosis and trypanosomiasis, as well as enhanced adaptability to hot and humid environments. Yunnan humped cattle, an indigenous B. indicus breed, are well adapted to coarse feed and harsh environments, yet the molecular basis of their disease resistance has not been systematically investigated.

resultsBy integrating transcriptomic and proteomic analyses, we demonstrated that genetic background is the primary determinant shaping distinct immune response strategies between cattle breeds. Mucosal immunity and innate immunity emerged as key contributors to differential resistance to piroplasmosis. We identified several candidate genes and protein biomarkers highly expressed in Yunnan humped cattle, including CCL4, CCL5, IL1R2, IL5RA, BOLA, BOLA-DRB3, IFNB1, and the protein HPX. These candidates are likely to be directly or indirectly involved in host resistance to piroplasmosis and may have potential utility as molecular markers.

conclusionsThis study improves our understanding of disease resistance in Yunnan humped cattle. The identified candidate genes and proteins may serve as molecular markers for marker-assisted breeding, offering a theoretical basis for developing cattle populations resistant to piroplasmosis.
