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

Bambara groundnut is an underutilized crop in Ghana with a lot of potential that can be harnessed to contribute to food and nutritional security in Ghana and Sub-Saharan African countries. The recent experiment was conducted to assess the genetic variability, heritability, and association among the yield components and the proximate composition of the Bambara groundnuts. Twenty-five (25) accessions of Bambara groundnut were sourced from different agro-ecological zones. The results from the analysis of variance showed a highly significant difference (p < 0.001) among almost all the traits studied. The estimate of the broad-sense heritability ranged from 12.50% to 84.458% for seed width and economic yield respectively. High heritability values accompanied by high GA were recorded for hundred seed weight (g), economic yield (g), biological yield (g), harvest index, and yield (kg). The separation of correlation coefficients into direct and indirect effects of component traits for yield traits revealed that traits such as economic yield and pod weight which were positively correlated with yield and exerted a high positive direct effect on yield could be selected for varietal development of Bambara groundnut in Ghana. The results from the proximate composition suggest that the Bambara groundnut accessions used in this study have high nutritional potentials that could serve in the alleviation of food security and nutritional problems when these accessions are selected for varietal development.
