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
The development of transgressive segregant (TS) selection on convergent breeding populations of S4 maize is a concept that is rarely applied. However, the development of TS is necessary to accelerate maize breeding pipelines. Therefore, the objectives of this study were (1) to develop the concept of TS selection and (2) to select S4 TS maize to be developed as hybrid cross parents. The study was carried out using two experiments. The first experiment was designed with an augmented design of 6 replications for control genotypes. This design is just one factor focused on maize genotypes. However, it was divided into two sets: non-replicated of 32 TS lines and replicated of four check hybrid varieties. The second experiment focused on validation using a three-way cross. The experiment used a randomized complete block design with three replications. Based on the resulting study, the combination of ratio analysis, path analysis, best linear unbiased prediction, relative fitness, and selection indices is an objective approach to assessing the genetic potential of the S4 TS. The selection index formed was 0.53 ear weight + 0.24-grain yield percentage + yield. The index selection resulted in 11 S4 TS lines being further evaluated for their hybrid potential, with the TS line CB2.23.1 being the best. However, these TSs are expected to focus on identifying and combining ability through diallel crosses in the future. Furthermore, the three-way cross hybrid lines assessment also revealed SG 3.35.12 × JH37 F1 and CB 2.23.1 × JH37 F1 to be promising hybrid lines.
