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
key messageMADS26 affecting maize seed germination was identified by GWAS and transcriptomics. Gene-based association analyses revealed three variations within MADS26 regulating seed germination traits. Overexpressed MADS26 in Arabidopsis improved seed germination. Seed germination ability is extremely important for maize production. Exploring the genetic control of seed germination ability is useful for improving maize yield. In this study, a genome-wide association study (GWAS) was conducted to excavate the significant SNPs involved in seed germination ability based on an association panel consisting of 300 lines. A total of 11 SNPs and 75 candidate genes were significantly associated with the seed germination traits. In addition, we constructed 24 transcriptome libraries from maize seeds at four germination stages using two inbred lines with contrasting germination rates. In total, 15,865 differentially expressed genes were induced during seed germination. Integrating the results of GWAS and transcriptome analysis uncovered four prioritized genes underlying maize seed germination. The variations located in the promoter of Zm00001d017932, a MADS-transcription factor 26 (MADS26), were verified to affect the seed germination, and the haplotype TAT was determined as a favorable haplotype for high-germination capability. MADS26 was induced to express by ethylene during seed germination in maize and overexpressing MADS26 increased the seed germination ability in Arabidopsis. These findings will contribute to understanding of the genetic and molecular mechanisms on seed germination and the genetic modification of seed germination ability in maize.
