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

To enhance the implementation of genomic selection (GS) in plant breeding, we conducted a comprehensive comparative analysis of deep learning (DL) models and genomic best linear unbiased predictor (GBLUP) methods across 14 real-world datasets derived from diverse plant breeding programs. We evaluated model performance by meticulously tuning hyperparameters specific to each dataset, aiming to maximize predictive accuracy and reliability. Our results demonstrated that DL models effectively captured complex, non-linear genetic patterns, frequently providing superior predictive performance compared to GBLUP, especially in smaller datasets. However, neither method consistently outperformed the other across all evaluated traits and scenarios. The analysis revealed that the success of DL models significantly depended on careful parameter optimization, reinforcing the importance of rigorous model tuning procedures. In the discussion, we emphasize the complementary nature of DL and GBLUP methods, highlighting that the choice between these models should be driven by the specific characteristics of the traits under study and the evaluation metrics prioritized in breeding programs. These insights contribute practical guidelines for selecting and optimizing genomic prediction models to achieve robust outcomes in plant breeding contexts.
