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
Genetic factors controlling quantitative inheritance of grain yield and its components have not previously been investigated by using replicated lines of an elite maize (Zea mays L.) population. The present study was conducted to identify quantitative trait loci (QTLs) associated with grain yield and grain-yield components by using restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) markers. A population of 150 random F2∶3 lines was derived from the single cross of inbreds Mo17 and H99, which are considered to belong to the Lancaster heterotic group. Trait values were measured in a replicated trial near Ames, Iowa, in 1989. QTLs were located on a linkage map constructed with one morphological and 103 RFLP loci. QTLs were found for grain yield and all yield components. Partial dominance to overdominance was the primary mode of gene action. Only one QTL, accounting for 35% of the phenotypic variation, was identified for grain yield. Two to six QTLs were identified for the other traits. Several regions with pleiotropic or linked effects on several of the yield components were detected.
