Quantitative Trait Loci for Seed Size Variation in Cucurbits - A Review.
Review in Frontiers in plant science, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 26 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
Cucurbits (Cucurbitaceae family) include many economically important fruit vegetable crops such as watermelon, pumpkin/squash, cucumber, and melon. Seed size (SS) is an important trait in cucurbits breeding, which is controlled by quantitative trait loci (QTL). Recent advances have deciphered several signaling pathways underlying seed size variation in model plants such as Arabidopsis and rice, but little is known on the genetic basis of SS variation in cucurbits. Here we conducted literature review on seed size QTL identified in watermelon, pumpkin/squash, cucumber and melon, and inferred 14, 9 and 13 consensus SS QTL based on their physical positions in respective draft genomes. Among them, four from watermelon (
