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

Oilseed rape is one of the most important dicotyledonous field crops in the world, where it plays a key role in productive cereal crop rotations. However, its production requires high nitrogen fertilization and its nitrogen footprint exceeds that of most other globally important crops. Hence, increased nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) in this crop is of high priority for sustainable agriculture. We report a comprehensive study of macrophysiological characteristics associated with breeding progress, conducted under contrasting nitrogen fertilization levels in a large panel of elite oilseed rape varieties representing breeding progress over the past 20 years. The results indicate that increased plant biomass at flowering, along with increases in primary yield components, have increased NUE in modern varieties. Nitrogen uptake efficiency has improved through breeding, particularly at high nitrogen. Despite low heritability, the number of seeds per silique is associated positively with increased yield in modern varieties. Seed weight remains unaffected by breeding progress; however, recent selection for high seed oil content and for high seed yields appears to have promoted a negative correlation (r= -0.39 at high and r= -0.49 at low nitrogen) between seed weight and seed oil concentration. Overall, our results reveal valuable breeding targets to improve NUE in oilseed rape.
