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
Assessment of genetic diversity is a pre-requisite to broaden the genetic background of cultivated base of sweet corn, an endosperm mutant of field corn that alters starch biosynthesis pathway in endosperm. In the current investigation, genetic divergence among 39 inbred lines was assessed on the basis of 14 agro-morphological traits, two quality parameters and 63 microsatellite markers, selected on the basis of their association with QTLs affecting kernel quality. The cluster analysis based on unweighted pair-group method using arithmetic averages for agro-morphological and quality traits grouped the 39 inbreds into three clusters with 5, 14 and 20 genotypes, respectively. The unweighted neighbor-joining method for microsatellite markers also categorized the inbred lines into three major clusters grouping 10, 9 and 20 genotypes in cluster I, II and III, respectively. The two cluster distribution patterns showed approximately 36 percent similarity. The assay of 30 microsatellite repeats identified 82 alleles with allele size ranging from 80 to 400 bp. The major allele frequency and PIC value of the markers ranged from 0.42 to 0.79 and 0.27 to 0.63, respectively, which suggested the presence of high amount of polymorphism among the inbreds. The average heterozygosity was recorded to be 0.19 which signifies proper maintenance of inbred population. Principle co-ordinate analysis also depicted diverse nature of inbred lines and agreed well with the previously determined clustering pattern. This study has identified several inbreds, having good yield and high sugar content which will not only enhance the genetic background of sweet corn germplasm but will also lead to development of high-yielding hybrids with improved quality.
