Integrated Genome-Wide Association Studies and Selection Signature Analysis Reveal the Genetic Architecture of the Wattle Trait in Goats.
Article in Animal genetics, 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
Wattles are finger-like appendages on the ventral neck of goats, serving as a distinctive morphological marker for breed identification that serves potential implications for production performance. However, their genetic basis remains incompletely characterized. Here, we integrated a genome-wide association study (GWAS) and selection signature analysis to identify candidate genes and genomic regions associated with the wattle trait in goats. Using a linear mixed model, GWAS on 463 goats (23 wattled and 440 non-wattled) identified 385 quantitative trait loci (QTLs) at a 5% false discovery rate, yielding 346 candidate genes. The most significant association signal was observed on chromosome 10 (72.61-73.48 Mb), where the lead SNP (rs636481767) is located within a region containing GJD2, GREM1, and FMN1, showing strong linkage disequilibrium (r
