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

The hundred-seed weight (HSW) is an important yield component and one of the principal breeding traits in soybean. More than 250 quantitative trait loci (QTL) for soybean HSW have been identified. However, most of them have a large genomic region or are environmentally sensitive, which provide limited information for improving the phenotype in marker-assisted selection (MAS) and identifying the candidate genes. Here, we utilized 281 soybean accessions with 58,112 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) to dissect the genetic basis of HSW in across years in the northern Shaanxi province of China through one single-locus (SL) and three multi-locus (ML) genome-wide association study (GWAS) models. As a result, one hundred and fifty-four SNPs were detected to be significantly associated with HSW in at least one environment via SL-GWAS model, and 27 of these 154 SNPs were detected in all (three) environments and located within 7 linkage disequilibrium (LD) block regions with the distance of each block ranged from 40 to 610 Kb. A total of 15 quantitative trait nucleotides (QTNs) were identified by three ML-GWAS models. Combined with the results of different GWAS models, the 7 LD block regions associated with HSW detected by SL-GWAS model could be verified directly or indirectly by the results of ML-GWAS models. Eleven candidate genes underlying the stable loci that may regulate seed weight in soybean were predicted. The significantly associated SNPs and the stable loci as well as predicted candidate genes may be of great importance for marker-assisted breeding, polymerization breeding, and gene discovery for HSW in soybean. Supplementary Information: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s11032-022-01310-y.
