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
In wheat, meta-QTLs (MQTLs), ortho-MQTLs, and candidate genes (CGs) were identified for nitrogen use efficiency and root system architecture. For this purpose, 1788 QTLs were available from 24 studies published during 2006-2020. Of these, 1098 QTLs were projected onto the consensus map resulting in 118 MQTLs. The average confidence interval (CI) of MQTLs was reduced up to 8.56 folds in comparison to the average CI of QTLs. Of the 118 MQTLs, 112 were anchored to the physical map of the wheat reference genome. The physical interval of MQTLs ranged from 0.02 to 666.18 Mb with a mean of 94.36 Mb. Eighty-eight of these 112 MQTLs were verified by marker-trait associations (MTAs) identified in published genome-wide association studies (GWAS); the MQTLs that were verified using GWAS also included 9 most robust MQTLs, which are particularly useful for breeders; we call them 'Breeder's QTLs'. Some selected wheat MQTLs were further utilized for the identification of ortho-MQTLs for wheat and maize; 9 such ortho-MQTLs were available. As many as 1991 candidate genes (CGs) were also detected, which included 930 CGs with an expression level of > 2 transcripts per million in relevant organs/tissues. Among the CGs, 97 CGs with functions previously reported as important for the traits under study were selected. Based on homology analysis and expression patterns, 49 orthologues of 35 rice genes were also identified in MQTL regions. The results of the present study may prove useful for the improvement of selection strategy for yield potential, stability, and performance under N-limiting conditions.
