The Baladi cattle are a genetic sieve for indicine and African-taurine genomic loci with positive effects on adaptation to harsh Mediterranean environments.
Article in BMC genomics, 2026. 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
backgroundThe Mediterranean indigenous Baladi cattle is known for its exceptional adaptability to harsh environment, making it a prime candidate for sustainable grazing systems amid global climate change. This study investigates the ancestors of the Baladi genome, genomic regions under selection, and adaptation mechanisms of Baladi cattle.
resultsA unique balanced global admixture of taurine and indicine genomes was found, composed of indicine, European taurine and African taurine ancestors. A total of 103 chromosomal regions with significant local deviation were found, taken as selection signatures. A clear tendency of selection for the indicine and African taurine ancestors at the expense of European taurine was observed. Bioinformatics analysis of the selection signature regions revealed genes candidates by location and function to affect Baladi adaptive selection.
conclusionsThe Baladi genome is a unique rich mosaic of three domesticated bovine sub-specie lineages. Thus, the Baladi cattle is a mixture already sieved for adaptation to the harsh Mediterranean climate. These findings emphasize the urgent need for conservation efforts to preserve the genetic diversity and adaptive traits of this valuable, endangered breed.
