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

key messagecqSW.A03-2, one of the six identified quantitative trait loci associated with thousand-seed weight in rapeseed, is mapped to a 61.6-kb region on chromosome A03 and corresponds to the candidate gene BnaA03G37960D. Seed weight is an important factor that determines the seed yield of oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.). To elucidate the genetic mechanism of thousand-seed weight (TSW), quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping was conducted using a double haploid population derived from the cross between an elite line ZY50 and a pol cytoplasmic male sterility restorer line 7-5. The genetic basis of TSW was dissected into six major QTLs. One major QTL denoted as cqSW.A03-2, which explained 8.46-13.70% of the phenotypic variation, was detected across multiple environments. To uncover the genetic basis of cqSW.A03-2, a set of near-isogenic lines were developed. Based on the test of self-pollinated progenies, cqSW.A03-2 was identified as a single Mendelian factor and the ZY50 allele at cqSW.A03-2 showed a positive effect on TSW. Fine mapping delimited the cqSW.A03-2 locus into a 61.6-kb region, and 18 genes within this region were predicted. Candidate gene association analysis and expression analysis indicated that a histidine kinase gene (BnaA03G37960D) is likely to be the candidate gene for the cqSW.A03-2 locus. Our results may contribute to a better understanding of the molecular mechanism of seed weight regulation and promote the breeding program for yield improvement in rapeseed.
