Article in TAG. Theoretical and applied genetics. Theoretische und angewandte Genetik, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
key messageGenetic relationships between the phenotypic means and plasticities of kernel size and weight revealed the common genetic control of these traits in maize. Kernel size and weight are crucial components of grain yield in maize, and phenotypic plasticity in these traits facilitates adaptations to changing environments. Elucidating the genetic architecture of the mean phenotypic values and plasticities of kernel size and weight may be essential for breeding climate-robust maize varieties. Here, a maize nested association mapping (CN-NAM) population and association panel were grown in different environments. A joint linkage analysis and genome-wide association mapping were performed for five kernel size and weight phenotypic traits and two phenotypic plasticity measures. The mean phenotypes and plasticities were significantly correlated. The overall results of quantitative trait locus (QTL) and candidate gene analyses indicated moderate and high levels of common genetic control for the two traits. Furthermore, the mean phenotypes or plasticities of the hundred-kernel weight and volume were commonly regulated to a high degree. One pleiotropic locus on chromosome 10 simultaneously controlled the mean phenotypic values and plasticities of kernel size and weight. Therefore, the plasticity of kernel size and weight might be indirectly selected during maize breeding; however, selecting for high or low plasticity in combination with high or low mean phenotypic values of kernel size and weight traits may be difficult.
