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

backgroundThe relative abundance of five dominant fatty acids (FAs) (palmitic, stearic, oleic, linoleic and linolenic acids) is a major factor determining seed quality in soybean.

methodsTo clarify the currently poorly understood genetic architecture of FAs in soybean, targeted association analysis was conducted in 421 diverse accessions phenotyped in three environments and genotyped using 1536 pre-selected SNPs.

resultsThe population of 421 soybean accessions displayed significant genetic variation for each FA. Analysis of the molecular data revealed three subpopulations, which reflected a trend depending on latitude of cultivation. A total of 37 significant (p < 0.01) associations with FAs were identified by association mapping analysis. These associations were represented by 33 SNPs (occurring in 32 annotated genes); another four SNPs had a significant association with two different FAs due to pleiotropic interactions. The most significant associations were cross-verified by known genes/QTL or consistency across cultivation year and subpopulations.

conclusionThe detected marker-trait associations represent a first important step towards the implementation of molecular-marker-based selection of FA composition with the potential to substantially improve the seed quality of soybean with benefits for human health and for food processing.
