Genome-Wide Association Study Dissects the Genetic Architecture of Maize Husk Tightness.
Article 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 15 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
The husk is a leafy outer tissue that encloses a maize ear. Previously, we identified the optimum husk structure by measuring the husk length, husk layer number, husk thickness and husk width. Husk tightness (HTI) is a combined trait based on the above four husk measurements. Unveiling the genetic basis of HTI will aid in guiding the genetic improvement of maize for mechanical harvesting and for protecting the ear from pest damage and pathogen infection. Here, we used a maize associate population of 508 inbred lines with tropical, subtropical and temperate backgrounds to analyze the genetic architecture of HTI. Evaluating the phenotypic diversity in three different environments showed that HTI exhibited broad natural variations and a moderate heritability level of 0.41. A diversity analysis indicated that the inbred lines having a temperate background were more loosely related than those having a tropical or subtropical background. HTI showed significant negative correlations with husk thickness and width, which indicates that thicker and wider husks wrapped the ear tighter than thinner and slimmer husks. Combining husk traits with ∼1.25 million single nucleotide polymorphisms in a genome-wide association study revealed 27 variants that were significantly associated with HTI above the threshold of P < 7.26 × 10
