Genome-wide association study reveals significant loci and candidate genes for fruit branch length in upland cotton.
Article in The plant genome, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
The length of fruit branches significantly influences plant architecture in upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.), which is crucial for optimizing fiber yield and quality. In this study, a comprehensive genome-wide association study was conducted based on whole-genome resequencing data that identified 249 significant SNPs associated with fruit branch length (FBL), forming 79 distinct quantitative trait loci (QTL) regions. Notably, stable QTL regions qFBL-A10-4 and qFBL-D03-17 were identified, harboring key candidate genes such as Ghir_A10G014390 and Ghir_D03G011390. Superior haplotypes of these genes significantly enhance FBL, fiber yield, and quality, offering valuable targets for cotton breeding programs focused on optimizing plant architecture and productivity.
