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

Making decisions on plant breeding programs require plant breeders to be able to test different breeding strategies by taking into account all the crucial factors affecting crop genetic improvement. Due to the complexity of the decisions, computer simulation serves as an important tool for researchers and plant breeders. This paper describes ADAM-plant, which is a computer software that models breeding schemes for self-pollinated and cross-pollinated crop plants using stochastic simulation. The program simulates a population of plants and traces the genetic changes in the population under different breeding scenarios. It takes into account different population structures, genomic models, selection (strategies and units) and crossing strategies. It also covers important features e.g., allowing users to perform genomic selection (GS) and speed breeding, simulate genotype-by-environment interactions using multiple trait approach, simulate parallel breeding cycles and consider plot sizes. In addition, the software can be used to simulate datasets produced from very complex breeding program in order to test new statistical methodology to analyze such data. As an example, three wheat-breeding strategies were simulated in the current study: (1) phenotypic selection, (2) GS, and (3) speed breeding with genomic information. The results indicate that the genetic gain can be doubled by GS compared to phenotypic selection and genetic gain can be further increased considerably by speed breeding. In conclusion, ADAM-plant is an important tool for comparing strategies for plant breeding and for estimating the effects of allocation of different resources to the breeding program. In the current study, it was used to compare different methodologies for utilizing genomic information in cereal breeding programs for selection of best-fit breeding strategy as per available resources.
