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

Cowpea is an important multipurpose legume crop that used for food, feed and vegetable worldwide. Developing the high yield cultivars is the first target in cowpea breeding, however, the genetic basis of this complex trait is not yet well understood. To discover the genetic architecture of cowpea yield, a total of 215 cowpea landraces collected from Zhejiang Province were evaluated for four yield-related traits including branch number per plant (BNP), grain number per pod (GNP), pod length (PL), and pod number per plant (PNP). By resequencing this diversity panel, total of 3,880,169 high-confidence single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were identified, population structure analysis showed that these cowpea landraces were classified into four subpopulations and the subpopulation division was highly related to the pod length and pod-type. Through conducting a GWAS on the four traits, 24 genomic regions significantly associated with cowpea yield were detected and haplotype analysis showed the favorable genotypes of each locus has stronger genetic effect on the yield-related traits. Based on the cowpea G98 reference genome, six predicated genes ( Supplementary Information: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s11032-025-01585-x.
