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

backgroundNorthern corn leaf blight (NCLB) is a foliar disease in maize caused by the fungus Setosphaeria turcica, which severely impacts maize production. Genetic studies can help mitigate the effects of NCLB by developing maize resistant varieties and enhancing overall crop yield.

resultsIn this study, a multi-parent population (MPP) was constructed using two temperate maize inbred lines (Zheng58 and HuangC) and one subtropical inbred line (AN20) as the female parents, with the elite temperate maize inbred line Ye107 as the common male parent. The MPP consisted of three recombinant inbred line (RIL) subpopulations, comprising a total of 529 F

conclusionsThis study identifies two candidate genes associated with NCLB resistance through a genome-wide association analysis using 529 recombinant inbred lines evaluated across subtropical and tropical environments. The candidate genes were further validated through preliminary qRT-PCR analysis. These findings provide valuable genomic resources for breeding NCLB-resistant maize varieties and enhances our understanding of the genetic mechanisms underlying NCLB resistance in maize.
