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

Developing high-yielding, flood-tolerant rice (Oryza sativa L.) varieties is essential for enhancing productivity and livelihoods in flood-prone ecologies. We explored genetic avenues beyond the well-known SUB1A gene to improve flood resilience in rice. We screened a collection of 6274 elite genotypes from IRRI's germplasm repository for submergence and stagnant flooding tolerance over multiple seasons and years. This rigorous screening identified 89 outstanding elite genotypes, among which 37 exhibited high submergence tolerance, surpassing the survival rate of SUB1A introgression genotypes by 40%-50%. Thirty-five genotypes showed significant tolerance to stagnant flooding, and 17 demonstrated dual tolerance capabilities, highlighting their adaptability to varying flood conditions. The genotypes identified have a broader genetic diversity and harbor 86 key quantitative trait loci (QTLs) and genes related to traits such as grain quality, grain yield, herbicide resistance, and various biotic and abiotic traits, highlighting the richness of the identified elite collection. Besides germplasm, we introduce an innovative breeding approach called "Transition from Trait to Environment" (TTE). TTE leverages a parental pool of high-performing genotypes with complete submergence tolerance to drive population improvement and enable genomic selection in the flood breeding program. Our approach of TTE achieved a remarkable 65% increase in genetic gain for submergence tolerance, with the resulting fixed breeding genotypes demonstrating exceptional performance in flood-prone environments of India and Bangladesh. The elite genotypes identified herein represent invaluable genetic resources for the global rice research community. By adopting the TTE approach, which is trait agonistic, we establish a robust framework for developing more resilient genotypes using advanced breeding tools.
