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
Understanding the genetic basis of drought tolerance in safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) is essential for developing resilient varieties. In this study, we performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) using DArTseq markers to identify marker-trait associations (MTAs) linked to drought tolerance across 90 globally diverse safflower genotypes. These genotypes were evaluated under both rainfed (drought) and irrigated conditions over three consecutive years (2016-2018). Significant variation in seed yield and morphological traits was observed between genotypes and across environments, with notably reduced performance under rainfed conditions. A total of 66 MTAs were identified for key agronomic traits, including seed yield, 1000-seed weight, number of heads per plant, and days to maturity, with 45 MTAs showing significant associations with the stress-tolerance index (STI). Twelve MTAs were consistently detected across both stress and non-stress conditions, suggesting stable loci for breeding applications. BLAST searches indicated that several identified markers corresponded to genes involved in abiotic stress response, including biotin carboxylase, serine/threonine-protein kinase, and zinc finger domain proteins. The clustering of genotypes based on drought-tolerance coefficient (DC) and STI values grouped genotypes into drought-susceptible and drought-tolerant categories, with no strong correlation to geographic origin. These findings provide valuable insights into the genetic architecture of drought tolerance in safflower and highlight candidate loci for marker-assisted selection, supporting the development of drought-resilient varieties.
