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

In the field of plant breeding, various machine learning models have been developed and studied to evaluate the genomic prediction (GP) accuracy of unseen phenotypes. Deep learning has shown promise. However, most studies on deep learning in plant breeding have been limited to small datasets, and only a few have explored its application in moderate-sized datasets. In this study, we aimed to address this limitation by utilizing a moderately large dataset. We examined the performance of a deep learning (DL) model and compared it with the widely used and powerful best linear unbiased prediction (GBLUP) model. The goal was to assess the GP accuracy in the context of a five-fold cross-validation strategy and when predicting complete environments using the DL model. The results revealed the DL model outperformed the GBLUP model in terms of GP accuracy for two out of the five included traits in the five-fold cross-validation strategy, with similar results in the other traits. This indicates the superiority of the DL model in predicting these specific traits. Furthermore, when predicting complete environments using the leave-one-environment-out (LOEO) approach, the DL model demonstrated competitive performance. It is worth noting that the DL model employed in this study extends a previously proposed multi-modal DL model, which had been primarily applied to image data but with small datasets. By utilizing a moderately large dataset, we were able to evaluate the performance and potential of the DL model in a context with more information and challenging scenario in plant breeding.
