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

Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is one of the most important climate-resilient oil crops in sub-Saharan Africa. There is a significant yield gap for groundnut in Africa because of poor soil fertility, low agricultural inputs, biotic and abiotic stresses. Cross-country evaluations of promising breeding lines can facilitate the varietal development process. The objective of our study was to characterize popular test environments in Uganda (Serere and Nakabango) and Malawi (Chitala and Chitedze) and identify genotypes with stable superior yields for potential future release. Phenotypic data were generated for 192 breeding lines for yield-related traits, while genotypic data were generated using skim-sequencing. We observed significant variation (p < 0.001; p < 0.01; p < 0.05) across genotypes for all yield-related traits: days to flowering (DTF), pod yield (PY), shelling percentage, 100-seed weight, and grain yield within and across locations. Nakabango, Chitedze, and Serere were clustered as one mega-environment with the top five most stable genotypes being ICGV-SM 01709, ICGV-SM 15575, ICGV-SM 90704, ICGV-SM 15576, and ICGV-SM 03710, all Virginia types. Population structure analysis clustered the genotypes in three distinct groups based on market classes. Eight and four marker-trait associations (MTAs) were recorded for DTF and PY, respectively. One of the MTAs for DTF was co-localized within an uncharacterized protein on chromosome 13, while another one (TRv2Chr.11_3476885) was consistent across the two countries. Future studies will need to further characterize the candidate genes as well as confirm the stability of superior genotypes across seasons before recommending them for release.
