Challenges for effective marker-assisted selection in plants.
Article in Genetica, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 34 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
The basic principle of Marker-Assisted Selection (MAS) is to exploit Linkage Disequilibrium (LD) between markers and QTLs. With strong enough LD, MAS should in theory be easier, faster, cheaper, or more efficient than classical (phenotypic) selection. I briefly review the major MAS methods, describing some 'success stories' where MAS was applied successfully in the context of plant breeding, and detailing other cases where efficiency was not as high as expected. I discuss the possible causes explaining the difference between theoretical expectations and practical observations. Finally, I review the principal challenges and issues that must be tackled to make marker-assisted selection in plants more effective in the future, namely: managing and controlling QTL stability to apply MAS to complex traits, and integrating MAS in traditional breeding practices to make it more economically attractive and applicable in developing countries.
