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

backgroundStenotaphrum secundatum is an important grass with a rich variety of accessions and great potential for development as an economically valuable crop. However, little is known about the genetic diversity of S. secundatum, limiting its application and development as a crop. Here, to provide a theoretical basis for further conservation, utilization, and classification of S. secundatum germplasm resources, we used phenotypic and molecular markers (single-nucleotide polymorphisms, SNPs; sequence-related amplified polymorphism, SRAP; inter-simple sequence repeat, ISSR) to analyze the genetic diversity of 49 S. secundatum accessions.

resultsBased on seven types of phenotypic data, the 49 S. secundatum accessions could be divided into three classes with great variation. We identified 1,280,873 SNPs in the 49 accessions, among which 66.22% were transition SNPs and 33.78% were transversion SNPs. Among these, C/T was the most common (19.12%) and G/C the least common (3.68%). Using 28 SRAP primers, 267 polymorphic bands were detected from the 273 bands amplified. In addition, 27 ISSR markers generated 527 amplification bands, all of which were polymorphic. Both marker types revealed a high level of genetic diversity, with ISSR markers showing a higher percentage of polymorphic loci (100%) than SRAP markers (97.8%). The genetic diversity of the accessions based on SRAP markers (h = 0.47, I = 0.66) and ISSR markers (h = 0.45, I = 0.64) supports the notion that the S. secundatum accessions are highly diverse. S. secundatum could be divided into three classes based on the evaluated molecular markers.

conclusionsPhenotypic and molecular marker analysis using SNP, SRAP, and ISSR markers revealed great genetic variation among S. secundatum accessions, which were consistently divided into three classes. Our findings provide a theoretical basis for the genetic diversity and classification of S. secundatum. Our results indicate that SNP, SRAP and ISSR markers are reliable and effective for analyzing genetic diversity in S. secundatum. The SNPs identified in this study could be used to distinguish S. secundatum accessions.
