1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Seed weight is an important component of grain yield in oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.), but the genetic basis for the important quantitative trait is still not clear. In order to identify the genes for seed weight in oilseed rape, QTL mapping for thousand seed weight (TSW) was conducted with a doubled haploid (DH) population and an F(2) population. A complete linkage map of the DH population was constructed using 297 simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers. Among nine TSW QTLs detected, two major QTLs, TSWA7a and TSWA7b, were stably identified across years and collectively explained 27.6-37.9% of the trait variation in the DH population. No significant epistatic interactions for TSW detected in the DH population indicate that the seed weight variation may be primarily attributed to additive effects. The stability and significance of TSWA7a and TSWA7b were further validated in the F(2) population with different genetic backgrounds. By cloning BnMINI3a and BnTTG2a, two B. napus homologous genes to Arabidopsis thaliana, allele-specific markers were developed for TSWA5b and TSWA5c, two TSW QTLs on A5, respectively. The importance of the major and minor QTLs identified was further demonstrated by analysis of the allelic effects on TSW in the DH population.
