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

core ideasTraining populations can be optimized for specific testing populations. Optimized training populations are smaller, more related, and more predictive. Stratified sampling with a relationship matrix weighted by marker effect is optimal. The effectiveness of genomic selection in breeding programs depends on the phenotypic quality and depth, the prediction model, the number and type of molecular markers, and the size and composition of the training population (TR). Furthermore, population structure and diversity have a key role in the composition of the optimal training sets. Our goal was to compare strategies for optimizing the TR for specific testing populations (TE). A total of 1353 wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and 644 rice (Oryza sativa L.) advanced lines were evaluated for grain yield in multiple environments. Several within-TR optimization strategies were compared to identify groups of individuals with increased predictive ability. Additionally, optimization strategies to choose individuals from the TR with higher predictive ability for a specific TE were compared. There is a benefit in considering both the population structure and the relationship between the TR and the TE when designing an optimal TR for genomic selection. A weighted relationship matrix with stratified sampling is the best strategy for forward predictions of quantitative traits in populations several generations apart.
