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

Cadmium (Cd) accumulation in rice is a serious threat to food safety and human health. Breeding rice varieties with low Cd accumulation is one of the most effective approaches to reducing health risks from Cd-polluted rice. However, the genetic basis of Cd accumulation in grains, especially in indica rice varieties, has not been fully elucidated. The evaluation of Cd-accumulation capacity was conducted among 338 diverse rice accessions grown in Cd-contaminated soils with different Cd contents. Thirteen rice lines with relatively low Cd accumulation, including six indica rice lines, were identified. Then, 35 QTLs significantly associated with Cd accumulation were identified through sequencing-based SNP discovery and a genome-wide association study (GWAS) in the two experimental years, and only qCd8-1 was detected in both years. Among of them, nine QTLs were co-localized with identified genes or QTLs. A novel QTL, qCd1-3, with the lowest P value was selected for further LD decay analysis and candidate gene prediction. We found differential expression of OsABCB24 between high-Cd-accumulative and low-Cd-accumulative accessions, suggesting it may be a candidate gene for qCd1-3 associated with low Cd accumulation. These results may be helpful for further exploiting novel functional genes related to Cd accumulation and developing rice variety with low Cd accumulation through marker-assisted breeding.
