Genetic architecture of kernel-related traits in sweet and waxy maize revealed by genome-wide association analysis.
Article in Frontiers in genetics, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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: Maize ( Methods: To dissect the genetic architecture of four kernel-related traits of 100-kernel weight, kernel length, kernel width, and kernel diameter, a genome-wide association study (GWAS) was conducted in the waxy and sweet maize panel comprising of 447 maize inbred lines re-sequenced at the 5× coverage depth. GWAS analysis was carried out with the mixed linear model using 1,684,029 high-quality SNP markers. Results: In total, 49 SNPs significantly associated with the four kernel-related traits were identified, including 46 SNPs on chromosome 3, two SNPs on chromosome 4, and one SNP on chromosome 7. Haplotype regression analysis identified 338 haplotypes that significantly affected these four kernel-related traits. Genomic selection (GS) results revealed that a set of 10,000 SNPs and a training population size of 30% are sufficient for the application of GS in waxy and sweet maize breeding for kernel weight and kernel size. Forty candidate genes associated with the four kernel-related traits were identified, including both Discussion: These significant SNPs and important haplotypes provide valuable information for developing functional markers for the implementation of marker-assisted selection in breeding.
