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

Flowering time is a complex trait and has a key role in crop yield and adaptation to environmental stressors such as heat and drought. This study aimed to better understand the interconnected dynamics of epistasis and environment and look for novel regulators. We investigated 534 spring barley MAGIC DH lines for flowering time at various environments. Analysis of quantitative trait loci (QTLs), epistatic interactions, QTL × environment (Q×E) interactions, and epistasis × environment (E×E) interactions were performed with single SNP and haplotype approaches. In total, 18 QTLs and 2420 epistatic interactions were detected, including intervals harboring major genes such as Ppd-H1, Vrn-H1, Vrn-H3, and denso/sdw1. Epistatic interactions found in field and semi-controlled conditions were distinctive. Q×E and E×E interactions revealed that temperature influenced flowering time by triggering different interactions between known and newly detected regulators. A novel flowering-delaying QTL allele was identified on chromosome 1H (named 'HvHeading') and was shown to be engaged in epistatic and environment interactions. Results suggest that investigating epistasis, environment, and their interactions, rather than only single QTLs, is an effective approach for detecting novel regulators. We assume that barley can adapt flowering time to the environment via alternative routes within the pathway.
