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

Recent results indicate that association mapping in populations from applied plant breeding is a powerful tool to detect QTL which are of direct relevance for breeding. The focus of this study was to unravel the genetic architecture of six agronomic traits in sugar beet. To this end, we employed an association mapping approach, based on a very large population of 924 elite sugar beet lines from applied plant breeding, fingerprinted with 677 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers covering the entire genome. We show that in this population linkage disequilibrium decays within a short genetic distance and is sufficient for the detection of QTL with a large effect size. To increase the QTL detection power and the mapping resolution a much higher number of SNPs is required. We found that for QTL detection, the mixed model including only the kinship matrix performed best, even in the presence of a considerable population structure. In genome-wide scans, main effect QTL and epistatic QTL were detected for all six traits. Our full two-dimensional epistasis scan revealed that for complex traits there appear to be epistatic master regulators, loci which are involved in a large number of epistatic interactions throughout the genome.
