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 messageAssociation mapping of a subset of the SweetCAP diversity panel revealed ten single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with haploid male fertility (HMF), which provided four candidate genes. Doubled haploid (DH) technology using in vivo haploid induction has dramatically improved the efficiency of maize breeding programs worldwide. However, limitations from genome doubling create a bottleneck for DH line production. To overcome such limitations, spontaneous haploid genome doubling (SHGD) has gained prominence over the last decade, specifically in field corn materials. On the contrary, SHGD in sweet corn has been largely overlooked. A subset of 286 sweet corn genotypes from the SweetCAP diversity panel was evaluated for their ability to restore male fertility in the haploid state, otherwise known as haploid male fertility (HMF). Association mapping identified ten single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with HMF, which provided four candidate genes. Our results highlight significant variation for HMF, with 11 genotypes having > 54% HMF. These genotypes demonstrate HMF naturally exists in sweet corn germplasm and can be used for population improvement.
