Physical seed dormancy in pea is genetically separable from seed coat thickness and roughness.

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
Introduction: The seeds of wild pea ( Methods: To investigate this, we examined the genetic control of differences in seed coat characteristics between wild Results: In this population we found a moderate correlation between testa thickness and permeability, and identified loci that affect them independently, suggesting no close functional association. However, the major loci affecting both testa thickness and permeability collocated closely with Mendel's pigmentation locus A, suggesting flavonoid compounds under its control might contribute significantly to both traits. We also show that seed coat roughness is oligogenic in this population, with the major locus independent of both testa thickness and permeability, suggesting selection for smooth seed was unlikely to be due to effects on either of these traits. Discussion: Results indicate loss of seed coat dormancy during domestication was not primarily driven by reduced testa thickness or smooth seededness. The close association between major permeability and thickness QTL and Mendel's 'A' warrant further study, particularly regarding the role of flavonoids.
