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
Meta-QTL (MQTL) analysis for drought tolerance was undertaken in bread wheat to identify consensus and robust MQTLs using 340 known QTLs from 11 earlier studies; 13 MQTLs located on 6 chromosomes (1D, 3B, 5A, 6D, 7A and 7D) were identified, with maximum of 4 MQTLs on chromosome 5A. Mean confidence intervals for MQTLs were much narrower (mean, 6.01 cM; range 2.07-19.46 cM), relative to those in original QTLs (mean, 13.6 cM; range, 1.0-119.1 cM). Two MQTLs, namely MQTL4 and MQTL12, were major MQTLs with potential for use in marker-assisting breeding. As many as 228 candidate genes (CGs) were also identified using 6 of the 13 MQTLs. In-silico expression analysis of these 228 CGs allowed identification of 14 important CGs, with + 3 to - 8 fold change in expression under drought (relative to normal conditions) in a tolerant cv. named TAM107. These CGs encoded proteins belonging to the following families: NAD-dependent epimerase/dehydratase, protein kinase, NAD(P)-binding domain protein, heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70), glycosyltransferase 2-like, etc. Important MQTLs and CGs identified in the present study should prove useful for future molecular breeding and for the study of molecular basis of drought tolerance in cereals in general and wheat in particular.
