Marker-trait associations and genomic predictions of interspecific pear (Pyrus) fruit characteristics.
Article in Scientific reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 24 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
Interspecific pear (Pyrus spp.) hybrid populations are often used to develop novel cultivars. Pear cultivar breeding is a lengthy process because of long juvenility and the subsequent time required for reliable fruit phenotyping. Molecular techniques such as genome-wide association (GWA) and genomic selection (GS) provide an opportunity to fast-forward the development of high-value cultivars. We evaluated the genetic architecture of 10 pear fruit phenotypes (including sensory traits) and the potential of GS using genotyping-by-sequencing of 550 hybrid seedlings from nine interrelated full-sib families. Results from GWA suggested a complex polygenic nature of all 10 traits as the maximum variance explained by each marker was less than 4% of the phenotypic variance. The effect-size of SNPs for each trait suggested many genes of small effect and few of moderate effect. Some genomic regions associated with pear sensory traits were similar to those reported for apple - possibly a result of high synteny between the apple and pear genomes. The average (across nine families) GS accuracy varied from 0.32 (for crispness) to 0.62 (for sweetness), with an across-trait average of 0.42. Further efforts are needed to develop larger genotype-phenotype datasets in order to predict fruit phenotypes of untested seedlings with sufficient efficiency.
