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

Understanding the influence of environmental factors on cotton performance is crucial for enhancing yield and fiber quality in the context of climate change. This study investigates genotype-by-environment (G×E) interactions in cotton, using data from 250 recombinant inbred lines (CCRI70 RILs) cultivated across 14 diverse environments in China's major cotton cultivation areas. Our findings reveal that environmental effects predominantly influenced yield-related traits (boll weight, lint percentage, and the seed index), contributing to 34.7% to 55.7% of their variance. In contrast fiber quality traits showed lower environmental sensitivity (12.3-27.0%), with notable phenotypic plasticity observed in the boll weight, lint percentage, and fiber micronaire. Employing six machine learning models, Random Forest demonstrated superior predictive ability (R
