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 messageDeveloping genetically resistant soybean cultivars is key in controlling the destructive Sclerotinia Stem Rot (SSR) disease. Here, a GWAS study in Canadian soybeans identified potential marker-trait associations and candidate genes, paving the way for more efficient breeding methods for SSR. Sclerotinia stem rot (SSR), caused by the fungal pathogen Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, is one of the most important diseases leading to significant soybean yield losses in Canada and worldwide. Developing soybean cultivars that are genetically resistant to the disease is the most inexpensive and reliable method to control the disease. However, breeding for resistance is hampered by the highly complex nature of genetic resistance to SSR in soybean. This study sought to understand the genetic basis underlying SSR resistance particularly in soybean grown in Canada. Consequently, a panel of 193 genotypes was assembled based on maturity group and genetic diversity as representative of Canadian soybean cultivars. Plants were inoculated and screened for SSR resistance in controlled environments, where variation for SSR phenotypic response was observed. The panel was also genotyped via genotyping-by-sequencing and the resulting genotypic data were imputed using BEAGLE v5 leading to a catalogue of 417 K SNPs. Through genome-wide association analyses (GWAS) using FarmCPU method with threshold of FDR-adjusted p-values < 0.1, we identified significant SNPs on chromosomes 2 and 9 with allele effects of 16.1 and 14.3, respectively. Further analysis identified three potential candidate genes linked to SSR disease resistance within a 100 Kb window surrounding each of the peak SNPs. Our results will be important in developing molecular markers that can speed up the breeding for SSR resistance in Canadian grown soybean.
