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

Grain yield (GY) of bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is quantitatively inherited. Correlated GY-syndrome traits such as plant height (PH), heading date (HD), thousand grain weight (TGW), test weight (TW), grains per ear (GPE), and ear weight (EW) influence GY. Most quantitative genetics studies assessed the multiple-trait (MT) complex of GY-syndrome using single-trait approaches, and little is known about its underlying pleiotropic architecture. We investigated the pleiotropic architecture of wheat GY-syndrome through MT association mapping (MT-GWAS) using 372 varieties phenotyped in up to eight environments and genotyped with 18 832 single nucleotide polymorphisms plus 24 polymorphic functional markers. MT-GWAS revealed a total of 345 significant markers spread genome wide, representing 8, 40, 11, 40, 34, and 35 effective GY-PH, GY-HD, GY-TGW, GY-TW, GY-GPE, and GY-EW associations, respectively. Among them, pleiotropic roles of Rht-B1 and TaGW2-6B loci were corroborated. Only one marker presented simultaneous associations for three traits (i.e. GY-TGW-TW). Close linkage was difficult to differentiate from pleiotropy; thus, the pleiotropic architecture of GY-syndrome was dissected more as a cause of pleiotropy rather than close linkage. Simulations showed that minor allele frequencies, along with sizes and distances between quantitative trait loci for two traits, influenced the ability to distinguish close linkage from pleiotropy.
