Strategies for accelerating genetic gains in crop plants: special focus on speed breeding.

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
Feeding 10 billion people sustainably by 2050 in the era of slow genetic progress has spurred urgent calls to bring more crops per unit time. Over the last century, crop physiologists and breeders have been trying to alter plant biology to investigate and intervene in developmental processes under controlled chambers. Accelerating the breeding cycle via "speed breeding" was the outcome of these experiments. Speed breeding accelerates the genetic gain via phenome and genome-assisted trait introgression, re-domestication, and plant variety registration. Furthermore, early varietal release through speed breeding offers incremental benefits over conventional methods. However, a lack of resources and species-specific protocols encumber the technological implementation, which can be alleviated by reallocating funds to establish speed breeding units. This review discusses the limitations of conventional breeding methods and various alternative strategies to accelerate the breeding process. It also discusses the intervention at various developmental stages to reduce the generation time and global impacts of speed breeding protocols developed so far. Low-cost, field-based speed breeding protocol developed by Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana, Punjab, India to harvest at least three generations of wheat in a year without demanding the expensive greenhouses or growth chambers is also discussed.
