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

backgroundCucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) is cultivated worldwide, and it is essential to produce enough high-quality seeds to meet demand. Pre-harvest sprouting (PHS) in cucumber is a critical problem and causes serious damage to seed production and quality. Nevertheless, the genetic basis and molecular mechanisms underlying cucumber PHS remain unclear. QTL-seq is an efficient approach for rapid quantitative trait loci (QTL) identification that simultaneously takes advantage of bulked-segregant analysis (BSA) and whole-genome resequencing. In the present research, QTL-seq analysis was performed to identify QTLs associated with PHS in cucumber using an F

resultsTwo QTLs that spanned 7.3 Mb on Chromosome 4 and 0.15 Mb on Chromosome 5 were identified by QTL-seq and named qPHS4.1 and qPHS5.1, respectively. Subsequently, SNP and InDel markers selected from the candidate regions were used to refine the intervals using the extended F

conclusionsThese results provide novel insights into the genetic mechanism controlling PHS in cucumber and highlight the potential for marker-assisted selection of PHS resistance breeding.
