The genetics of fruit flavour preferences.
Review in Nature reviews. Genetics, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 104 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
Intensively bred fruit crops, including tomatoes and strawberries, are widely viewed as lacking flavour. The lack of breeder focus on the consumer is largely due to the genetic complexity of the flavour phenotype as well as a lack of a simple assay that can define consumer preferences. Rapid advances in genomics have opened up new opportunities to understand the chemistry and genetics of flavour. Here, we describe the underlying causes for the loss of flavour in fruits over time and delineate a blueprint for defining the chemistry of consumer liking, reducing that knowledge into a molecular roadmap for flavour improvement.
