Identification of quantitative trait loci that affect endoreduplication in maize endosperm.
Article in TAG. Theoretical and applied genetics. Theoretische und angewandte Genetik, 2007. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
Endoreduplication in maize endosperm precedes the onset of starch and storage protein synthesis, and it is generally thought to influence grain filling. We created four backcross populations by reciprocally crossing the F(1) progeny of a cross between Sg18 and Mo17 to the parental inbreds, which differ in endoreduplication by two parameters--mean ploidy and percentage of endoreduplicated nuclei. This four-backcross design allowed us to estimate and test the additive and dominant genetic effects of quantitative trait loci (QTLs) affecting endoreduplication. An analysis of endosperm from the four backcross populations at 16 days after pollination using a modified triploid mapping approach identified three endosperm QTLs influencing mean ploidy and two endosperm QTLs affecting the percentage of endoreduplicated nuclei. Some of these QTLs may manifest their effects on endoreduplication via expression in the embryo. The QTLs detected display strong dominance or over-dominance and interacted epistatically with an embryo-expressed QTL. This helps to explain the genetic basis for transgressive segregation in the backcross progeny. Although the favorable alleles that increase mean ploidy and percentage of endoreduplicated nuclei can be contributed by both parents, the Mo17-derived alleles for endoreduplication were often dominant or over-dominant to the Sg18-derived allele. One QTL on chromosome 7 that may be expressed in both the embryo and endosperm exerted a pleiotropic effect on two different parameters of endoreduplication. The results from this study shed light on the regulation of endoreduplication in maize endosperm and provide a marker-assisted selection strategy for potentially improving grain yield.
