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

MAIN

conclusionBy genome-wide association study, QTLs for salt tolerance in rapeseed were detected, and a TSN1 ortholog was identified as a candidate gene responsible for genetic variation in cultivars. Dissecting the genomic regions governing abiotic stress tolerance is necessary for marker-assisted breeding to produce elite breeding lines. In this study, a world-wide collection of rapeseed was evaluated for salt tolerance. These rapeseed accessions showed a large variation for salt tolerance index ranging from 0.311 to 0.999. Although no significant correlation between salt tolerance and Na(+) content was observed, there was a significant negative correlation between shoot biomass production under a control condition and salt tolerance. These rapeseed accessions were genotyped by DArTseq for a total of 51,109 genetic markers, which were aligned with 'pseudomolecules' representative of the genome of rapeseed to locate their hypothetical order for association mapping. A total of 62 QTLs for salt tolerance, shoot biomass, and ion-homeostasis-related traits were identified by association mapping using both the P and Q+K models. Candidate genes located within the QTL regions were also shortlisted. Sequence analysis showed many polymorphisms for BnaaTSN1. Three of them in the coding region resulting in a premature stop codon or frameshift were found in most of the sensitive lines. Loss-of-function mutations showed a significant association with salt tolerance in B. napus.
