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

Achieving significant genetic gains in grain yield (GY) in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) requires optimization of the key biomass partitioning traits such as spike partitioning index (SPI) and fruiting efficiency (FE). However, traditional manual phenotyping of these traits is labor-intensive and destructive, making it unsuitable for evaluating large germplasm panels. This study developed genomic prediction models to estimate these traits using diverse statistical methods while enhancing predictive ability (PA) by integrating environmental covariates (ECs) and secondary traits. A panel of 341 soft wheat elite lines was evaluated for biomass partitioning and yield-related traits from 2022 to 2024 in Citra, FL. Genomic best linear unbiased predictor (GBLUP) and Bayesian methods performed similarly or better than machine learning models for SPI, harvest index (HI), and GY. On the other hand, random forest models performed better in predicting effective tillers m
