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

Blackleg disease causes yield losses in canola (Brassica napus L.). To identify resistance genes and genomic regions, genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of 585 diverse winter and spring canola accessions were performed using imputed whole-genome sequence (WGS) and transcriptome genotype-by-sequencing (GBSt). Blackleg disease phenotypes were collected across three years in six trials. GWAS were performed in several ways and their respective power was judged by the number of significant single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP), the false discovery rate (FDR), and the percentage of SNP that validated in additional field trials in two subsequent years. WGS GWAS with 1,234,708 million SNP detected a larger number of significant SNP, achieved a lower FDR and a higher validation rate than GBSt with 64,072 SNP. A meta-analysis combining survival and average internal infection resulted in lower FDR but also lower validation rates. The meta-analysis GWAS identified 79 genomic regions (674 SNP) conferring potential resistance to L. maculans. While several GWAS signals localised in regions of known Rlm genes, fifty-three new potential resistance regions were detected. Seventeen regions had underlying genes with putative functions related to disease defence or stress response in Arabidopsis thaliana. This study provides insight into the genetic architecture and potential molecular mechanisms underlying canola L. maculans resistance.
