Both additivity and epistasis control the genetic variation for fruit quality traits in tomato.

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
The effect of a gene involved in the variation of a quantitative trait may change due to epistatic interactions with the overall genetic background or with other genes through digenic interactions. The classical populations used to map quantitative trait loci (QTL) are poorly efficient to detect epistasis. To assess the importance of epistasis in the genetic control of fruit quality traits, we compared 13 tomato lines having the same genetic background except for one to five chromosome fragments introgressed from a distant line. Six traits were assessed: fruit soluble solid content, sugar content and titratable acidity, fruit weight, locule number and fruit firmness. Except for firmness, a large part of the variation of the six traits was under additive control, but interactions between QTL leading to epistasis effects were common. In the lines cumulating several QTL regions, all the significant epistatic interactions had a sign opposite to the additive effects, suggesting less than additive epistasis. Finally the re-examination of the segregating population initially used to map the QTL confirmed the extent of epistasis, which frequently involved a region where main effect QTL have been detected in this progeny or in other studies.
