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
In alfalfa (Medicago sativa), an autotetraploid forage legume, stem length is a major component of forage yield, quality and competing ability. In this species, flowering date is not a breeding criterion. Association mapping based on a candidate gene approach has given good results in plants, including autotetraploid species for which genetic analyses are complex. The role of a CONSTANS-LIKE gene, identified as a candidate for stem elongation and flowering date in the model legume M. truncatula, was tested for association with the same traits in alfalfa. Four hundred genotypes from ten cultivars were evaluated for stem height and flowering date in two locations during 4 years. They were genotyped with simple sequence repeat markers and a low structuration was noticed. Primers were designed to amplify and sequence two regions of the alfalfa gene homologous to CONSTANS-LIKE. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were detected and their allelic dose in each genotype was scored. Linkage disequilibrium within CONSTANS-LIKE rapidly decreased as expected. Eight SNPs with a frequency above 10% were detected over 1,010 bp (one SNP every 126 bp on average) in the 400 genotypes. This number was lower than observed in a neutral gene (a SNP every 31 bp on average). Highly significant associations of three SNPs to flowering date and stem height were identified. Each SNP explained up to 4.2% of the genetic variance. Thus, as in the model species, the CONSTANS-LIKE gene was shown to be involved in flowering date and stem height in alfalfa.
