Tests for segregation distortion in higher ploidy F1 populations.
Article in G3 (Bethesda, Md.), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
F1 populations are widely used in genetic mapping studies in agriculture, where known pedigrees enable rigorous quality control measures such as segregation distortion testing. However, conventional tests for segregation distortion are inadequate for polyploids, as they fail to account for double reduction, preferential pairing, and genotype uncertainty, leading to inflated type I error rates. Prior work developed a statistical framework to address these issues in tetraploids. Here, we extend these methods to higher even ploidy levels and introduce additional strategies to mitigate the influence of outliers. Through extensive simulations, we demonstrate that our tests maintain appropriate type I error control while retaining power to detect true segregation distortion. We further validate our approach using empirical data from a hexaploid mapping population. Our methods are implemented in the segtest R package, available on the Comprehensive R Archive Network (https://doi.org/10.32614/CRAN.package.segtest).
