Identification and validation of QTLs for kernel number per spike and spike length in two founder genotypes of wheat.
Article in BMC plant biology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
backgroundKernel number per spike (KNS) and spike length (SL) are important spike-related traits in wheat variety improvement. Discovering genetic loci controlling these traits is necessary to elucidate the genetic basis of wheat yield traits and is very important for marker-assisted selection breeding.
resultsIn the present study, we used a recombinant inbred line population with 248 lines derived from the two founder genotypes of wheat, Bima4 and BainongAK58, to construct a high-density genetic map using wheat 55 K genotyping assay. The final genetic linkage map consists of 2356 bin markers (14,812 SNPs) representing all 21 wheat chromosomes, and the entire map spanned 4141.24 cM. A total of 7 and 18 QTLs were identified for KNS and SL, respectively, and they were distributed on 11 chromosomes. The allele effects of the flanking markers for 12 stable QTLs, including four QTLs for KNS and eight QTLs for SL, were estimated based on phenotyping data collected from 15 environments in a diverse wheat panel including 384 elite cultivars and breeding lines. The positive alleles at seven loci, namely, QKns.his-7D2-1, QKns.his-7D2-2, QSl.his-4A-1, QSl.his-5D1, QSl.his-4D2-2, QSl.his-5B and QSl.his-5A-2, significantly increased KNS or SL in the diverse panel, suggesting they are more universal in their effects and are valuable for gene pyramiding in breeding programs. The transmission of Bima4 allele indicated that the favorite alleles at five loci (QKns.his-7D2-1, QSl.his-5A-2, QSl.his-2D1-1, QSl.his-3A-2 and QSl.his-3B) showed a relatively high frequency or an upward trend following the continuity of generations, suggesting that they underwent rigorous selection during breeding. At two loci (QKns.his-7D2-1 and QSl.his-5A-2) that the positive effects of the Bima4 alleles have been validated in the diverse panel, two and one kompetitive allele-specific PCR (KASP) markers were further developed, respectively, and they are valuable for marker-assisted selection breeding.
conclusionImportant chromosome regions controlling KNS and SL were identified in the founder parents. Our results are useful for knowing the molecular mechanisms of founder parents and future molecular breeding in wheat.
