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

Kernel morphology is one of the major yield traits of wheat, the genetic architecture of which is always important in crop breeding. In this study, we performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) to appraise the genetic architecture of the kernel traits of 319 wheat accessions using 22,905 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers from a wheat 90K SNP array. As a result, 111 and 104 significant SNPs for Kernel traits were detected using four multi-locus GWAS models (mrMLM, FASTmrMLM, FASTmrEMMA, and pLARmEB) and three single-locus models (FarmCPU, MLM, and MLMM), respectively. Among the 111 SNPs detected by the multi-locus models, 24 SNPs were simultaneously detected across multiple models, including seven for kernel length, six for kernel width, six for kernels per spike, and five for thousand kernel weight. Interestingly, the five most stable SNPs (RAC875_29540_391, Kukri_07961_503, tplb0034e07_1581, BS00074341_51, and BobWhite_049_3064) were simultaneously detected by at least three multi-locus models. Integrating these newly developed multi-locus GWAS models to unravel the genetic architecture of kernel traits, the mrMLM approach detected the maximum number of SNPs. Furthermore, a total of 41 putative candidate genes were predicted to likely be involved in the genetic architecture underlining kernel traits. These findings can facilitate a better understanding of the complex genetic mechanisms of kernel traits and may lead to the genetic improvement of grain yield in wheat.
