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

key messagePredictabilities for wheat hybrids less related to the estimation set were improved by shifting from single- to multiple-trait genomic prediction of Fusarium head blight severity. Breeding for improved Fusarium head blight resistance (FHBr) of wheat is a very laborious and expensive task. FHBr complexity is mainly due to its highly polygenic nature and because FHB severity (FHBs) is greatly influenced by the environment. Associated traits plant height and heading date may provide additional information related to FHBr, but this is ignored in single-trait genomic prediction (STGP). The aim of our study was to explore the benefits in predictabilities of multiple-trait genomic prediction (MTGP) over STGP of target trait FHBs in a population of 1604 wheat hybrids using information on 17,372 single nucleotide polymorphism markers along with indicator traits plant height and heading date. The additive inheritance of FHBs allowed accurate hybrid performance predictions using information on general combining abilities or average performance of both parents without the need of markers. Information on molecular markers and indicator trait(s) improved FHBs predictabilities for hybrids less related to the estimation set. Indicator traits must be observed on the predicted individuals to benefit from MTGP. Magnitudes of genetic and phenotypic correlations along with improvements in predictabilities made plant height a better indicator trait for FHBs than heading date. Thus, MTGP having only plant height as indicator trait already maximized FHBs predictabilities. Provided a good indicator trait was available, MTGP could reduce the impacts of genotype environment [Formula: see text] interaction on STGP for hybrids less related to the estimation set.
