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

Understanding the genetic basis of reproductive stage drought tolerance (RSDT) requires bridging genomic variations with phenotype. This study employed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) using 450 rice accessions for grain yield under reproductive stage drought stress across three locations and two seasons. The results revealed 67 marker-trait associations (MTAs) that corresponded to 23 candidate genes. Superior haplotypes were identified for 10 RSDT-related genes, namely SAP-H22, WRKY109-H6, OsIRO2-H3, OsSOBIR1-H68, OsPGL31-H8, OsDAHPS1-H2, ZCD-H13, OsMC2-H8, Ospdr9-H16, and SDR-H2. These genes are involved in stress-related processes such as transcription regulation, cell wall structure modification, leaf rolling, programmed cell death, redox stress, and secondary metabolite accumulation. Notably, introgressing superior haplotypes from the OsIRO2-H3 gene into an elite rice cultivar led to a yield advantage of 25.0-27.3% over recurrent parents. These findings highlight the potential of these genes as valuable resources for breeding high-yielding, drought-tolerant rice varieties.
