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

The release of the rice reference genome marked the beginning of a genomic era for crops. Over the past decades, the improvements in genome sequencing and assembly techniques, coupled with the continuous decrease in cost, had revolutionized crop research and breeding. In this review, by text mining the literatures published from 2000 to 2024, we summarize the traits, tissues, and methods prioritized by crop scientists during this period. These analyses reveal profound influence of genomic approaches across all the stages of crop research and breeding, and propose a 4D roadmap of crop research, which are decoding, discovery, design and delivery, representing four steps from crop genome sequencing (decoding) to breeding (delivery). The results also highlight a strong bias of crops and traits in the current studies. Finally, a dramatic increase in the frequency of keywords related to artificial intelligence (AI) indicate wider and deeper AI applications in crop science, forecasting the imminent AI era for crops.
