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

Selection of desirable genotypes across the traits is the most challenging task for plant breeders. This experiment aims to study the association and reliability of the Smith-Hazel Selection Index (SH), Factor Analytic Best Linear Unbiased Prediction (FAI-BLUP), Multi-Trait Selection Index (MTSI) and Multi-Trait Genotype-Ideotype Distance Index (MGIDI) selection index with Weighted Rank Aggregation (WRA) and Genotype by Yield×Trait (GYT) Biplot analysis for the selection of superior genotypes. The evaluation of 55 genotypes, including parents and hybrids, was done at CRC of SVPUAT Meerut, UP, India, during 2023-2024 following Randomized Complete Block Design within three replications. The FAI BLUP and MGIDI both revealed the highest percentage increase in selection differential for SY, followed by SL, HI, SMR and TW. The highest rank correlation was observed between SHI and MTSI, followed by MGIDI and FAI BLUP. The Venn diagram revealed the best genotypes in all four indexes are C3, C4, C7, C32 and C36. The WRA analysis also suggested similar best genotypes such as C4 followed by C3, C27, C7 and C32 by assigning different weights to four indexes. PCA of the GT biplot revealed the PC1 and PC2 accounting for a total cumulative variance of 72.29%, whereas in GYT biplot PC1 and PC2 accounted for a cumulative variance of 96.96%, which is greater than GT biplot. Amongst all the selection indexes FAI-BLUP, MTSI and MGIDI are found more reliable whereas genotypes namely C3, C4, C7 and C32 can further be used in crop improvement programs.
