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

Introduction: Quinoa ( Methods: Fatty acid and tocopherol contents and profiles were analyzed, using gas chromatography and HPLC, respectively, in the seeds of 126 quinoa accessions from diverse origins grown in two locations in Spain in 2021 and 2022, following a completely randomised block design with three replications. Results: The germplasm exhibited a wide diversity for all the traits analysed, showing contrasting contents and profiles of fatty acids and tocopherols. Considering the data averaged over the four environments, particularly relevant variation was observed for total fatty acid, from 1.0 to 4.4% of grain weight; oleic acid, from 13.4 to 32.3% of total fatty acids; linoleic acid, from 48.0 to 67.4%; linolenic acid, from 1.8 to 8.4%; tocopherol content, from 22.3 to 121.6 mg kg Discussion: The existence of wide genetic diversity for grain oil content, fatty acid profile, and tocopherol content and profile in quinoa germplasm, together with the medium to high heritability of these traits, suggests the feasibility of improving these characters through breeding.
