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

Understanding germplasm's genetic diversity is essential for developing new and improved cultivars with stable yields under diverse environments. The objective of this study was to determine the genetic diversity and population structure of 128 maize inbred lines sourced from the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA), the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Centre (CIMMYT), and the University of KwaZulu-Natal (UKZN) using 11,450 informative single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers. The inbred lines revealed highly significant (p < 0.001) levels of variability for the key phenotypic traits. The SNP markers had a mean gene diversity (GD) and polymorphic information content (PIC) of 0.40 and 0.31, respectively, indicating the existence of substantial genetic variation across the germplasm panel. The model-based population structure analysis identified three subpopulations (K = 3) among the inbred lines. This corroborated the phylogenetic analysis using phenotypic traits and molecular markers which classified the inbred lines into three groups. The findings of this study identified considerable genetic diversity for the selection of inbred lines with favourable alleles for multiple traits and could be useful to initiate marker-assisted selection (MAS) to identify significant loci associated with agronomic performance and multiple-stress tolerance.
