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
Soybean is grown primarily for the protein and oil extracted from its seed and its value is influenced by these components. The objective of this study was to map marker-trait associations (MTAs) for the concentration of seed protein, oil, and meal protein using the soybean nested association mapping (SoyNAM) population. The composition traits were evaluated on seed harvested from over 5000 inbred lines of the SoyNAM population grown in 10 field locations across 3 years. Estimated heritabilities were at least 0.85 for all three traits. The genotyping of lines with single nucleotide polymorphism markers resulted in the identification of 107 MTAs for the three traits. When MTAs for the three traits that mapped within 5 cM intervals were binned together, the MTAs were mapped to 64 intervals on 19 of the 20 soybean chromosomes. The majority of the MTA effects were small and of the 107 MTAs, 37 were for protein content, 39 for meal protein, and 31 for oil content. For cases where a protein and oil MTAs mapped to the same interval, most (94%) significant effects were opposite for the two traits, consistent with the negative correlation between these traits. A coexpression analysis identified candidate genes linked to MTAs and 18 candidate genes were identified. The large number of small effect MTAs for the composition traits suggest that genomic prediction would be more effective in improving these traits than marker-assisted selection.
