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

backgroundCopy number variation (CNV) is an important class of structural variations (SVs) that contribute to phenotypic diversity and environmental adaptation in animals. However, large-scale population-level analyses of CNVs in goats remain limited. This study aimed to comprehensively characterize CNVs and explore their potential roles in economically important traits in Chinese goat populations.

methodsWhole-genome resequencing data from 151 individuals representing 17 Chinese goat breeds were analyzed. CNV regions (CNVRs) were identified across the genome, followed by gene annotation, functional enrichment analysis, and population differentiation analysis based on V

resultsA total of 5636 CNVRs were identified from 151 individuals of 17 goat breeds, including 1365 duplication CNVRs, 4241 deletion CNVRs, and 30 both CNVRs. These CNVRs collectively spanned 2.38% of the goat genome. A total of 912 protein-coding genes overlapped with these CNVRs. After Bonferroni correction, GO enrichment analysis showed that these genes were significantly enriched in terms related to transmembrane transport, cell projection, ion binding, and ATP binding. Population differentiation analysis identified several CNVR-associated candidate genes with potential relevance to production or adaptive traits, including

conclusionsThis study provides a comprehensive CNVR map of Chinese goat populations and offers insights into the genetic basis of economically important traits, contributing to future genetic improvement and breeding strategies in goats.
