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

BACKGROUND AND

aimsManganese (Mn) deficiency in barley is a global problem. It is difficult to detect in the early stages of symptom development and is commonly pre-emptively corrected by Mn foliar sprays that can be costly. Landraces adapted to marginal lands around the world represent a genetic resource for potential sustainability traits including mineral use efficiency. This research aims to confirm novel Mn use efficiency traits from the Scottish landrace Bere and use an association mapping approach to identify genetic loci associated with the trait.

methodsA hydroponic system was developed to identify and characterize the Mn deficiency tolerance traits in a collection of landraces, including a large number of Scottish Bere barleys, a group of six-rowed heritage landraces grown in the highlands and islands of Scotland. Measuring chlorophyll fluorescence, the effect of Mn deficiency was identified in the early stages of development. Genotypic data, generated using the 50k Illumina iSelect genotyping array, were coupled with the Mn phenotypic data to create a genome-wide association study (GWAS) identifying candidate loci associated with Mn use efficiency. KEY

resultsThe Bere lines generally had good Mn use efficiency traits. Individual Bere lines showed large efficiencies, with some Bere lines recording almost double chlorophyll fluorescence readings in limited Mn conditions compared with the elite cultivar Scholar. The Mn-efficient Bere lines had increased accumulation of Mn in their shoot biomass compared with elite cultivars, which was highly correlated to the chlorophyll fluorescence. Several candidate genes were identified as being associated with Mn use efficiency in the GWAS.

conclusionsSeveral genomic regions for Mn use efficiency traits originating from the Bere lines were identified. Further examination and validation of these regions should be undertaken to identify candidate genes for future breeding for marginal lands.
