Article in Molecular biology reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
backgroundLentil (Lens culinaris) is extensively cultivated for its edible seeds and plays an important role in food security and sustainable agriculture. Understanding the genetic diversity and population structure of lentil germplasm is crucial for breeding programs and for effective conservation of genetic resources. METHODS AND
resultsIn this study, the genetic variation and population structure of 96 lentil accessions were assessed using Start Codon Targeted (SCoT) markers. Fifteen polymorphic primers generated a total of 440 bands, with an average of 29.33 bands per primer. The overall polymorphism percentage was 93.38%. Genetic diversity parameters including, including polymorphism information content (ranging from 0.25 to 0.86), effective number of alleles (1.28-1.61), gene diversity (0.18-0.36), and Shannon's information index (0.29-0.54), revealed substantial genetic variability among the accessions. Molecular variance analysis showed that 87% of the genetic variation occurred within populations. STRUCTURE analysis grouped accessions into four populations (A, B, C, and D). This clustering was further supported by principal coordinate analysis (PCoA) and neighbor-joining, which differentiated genotypes based on their geographic origins.
conclusionSCoT marker analysis revealed considerable genetic diversity among the lentil germplasm evaluated. Notably, the accessions Pakistan2 and Iran3 exhibited the greatest genetic distance from others, indicating their potential value as parental lines for future lentil breeding and improvement programs.
