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

Soybean is an important source of protein, oil and carbohydrates, as well as other beneficial nutrients. A major function of proteins in nutrition is to supply adequate amounts of amino acids. Although they are essential for human nutrition, the sulfur-containing amino acids cysteine (Cys) and methionine (Met) are often limited and the genetic control of their content in soybean seeds is poorly characterized. This study aimed to characterize the phenotypic variation and identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) associated with Cys and Met content in a core set of 137 soybean lines, representative of the genetic diversity among Canadian short-season soybean, spanning maturity groups 000-II (MG000-II). Significant phenotypic differences were found among these lines for Cys, Met and Cys + Met content. Using both a mixed linear model and six multi-locus methods with a catalogue of 2.18 M SNPs, we report a total of nine QTLs and seventeen QTNs of which seven comprise promising candidate genes. This work allowed us to reproducibly detect multiple novel loci associated with sulfur-containing amino acid content. The markers and genes identified in this study may be useful for soybean genetic improvement aiming to increase Cys and Met content.
