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

Cassava, Manihot esculenta Crantz, is the main raw material used in starch production in China. However, due to the small planting scale and high demand in China, large-scale imports are needed. To improve cassava yield and to meet China's needs, we examine the agronomic traits of root weight, root number, and root length-to-width ratio per plant. By constructing two semi-sibling genetic maps and using years of data for quantitative trait locus (QTL) localization, we compare two population mapping results to screen co-located 15 QTLs, and transcriptome analysis to explore candidate genes related to these traits. We found OsWRKY78 in rice to be homologous to candidate gene Manes.03G051300, which can regulate rice stem elongation and seed size, and Manes.18G023500 to be homologous to MeMYB108, which can reduce leaf shedding and regulate cassava biomass. Through QTL mapping, we identify key genes related to yield traits that can be used in cassava molecular breeding to improve cassava yield.
