Combining Three Mapping Strategies to Reveal Quantitative Trait Loci and Candidate Genes for Maize Ear Length.
Article in The plant genome, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
Ear length (EL) is an important trait in maize ( L.) because it is positively correlated with grain yield. To understand the genetic basis of natural EL variation, a F, a four-way cross and a genome-wide association study (GWAS) population were used to identify the quantitative trait loci (QTLs) and candidate EL genes. Linkage mapping identified 14 QTLs in two types of populations from multiple environments. Six of them were located in three common genomic regions considered "stable QTLs". Candidate genes for the three stable QTLs were identified by the GWAS results. These were related to auxin transport, cell proliferation, and developmental regulation. These results confirm that maize EL is under strong genetic control by many small-effect genes. They also improve our understanding of the genetic basis of maize EL.
