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

key messageIdentification of 337 stable MTAs for wheat spike-related traits improved model accuracy, and favorable alleles of MTA259 and MTA64 increased grain weight and yield per plant. Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is one of the three primary global, staple crops. Improving spike-related traits in wheat is crucial for optimizing spike and plant morphology, ultimately leading to increased grain yield. Here, we performed a genome-wide association study using a dataset of 24,889 high-quality unique single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and phenotypic data from 314 wheat accessions across eight diverse environments. In total, 337 stable and significant marker-trait associations (MTAs) related to spike-related traits were identified. MTA259 and MTA64 were consistently detected in seven and six environments, respectively. The presence of favorable alleles associated with MTA259 and MTA64 significantly reduced wheat spike exsertion length and spike length, while enhancing thousand kernel weight and yield per plant. Combined gene expression and network analyses identified TraesCS6D03G0692300 and TraesCS6D03G0692700 as candidate genes for MTA259 and TraesCS2D03G0111700 and TraesCS2D03G0112500 for MTA64. The identified MTAs significantly improved the prediction accuracy of each model compared with using all the SNPs, and the random forest model was optimal for genome selection. Additionally, the eight stable and major MTAs, including MTA259, MTA64, MTA66, MTA94, MTA110, MTA165, MTA180, and MTA164, were converted into cost-effective and efficient detection markers. This study provided valuable genetic resources and reliable molecular markers for wheat breeding programs.
