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

Drought is the most damaging abiotic stress for soybean yield; cultivars with improved drought tolerance are needed to sustain and increase crop production. PI 603535 previously was identified as an ultra-slow canopy wilting (CW) line in a genome-wide association study but the quantitative trait loci (QTLs) underlying this phenotype have not been determined. In this study, a recombinant inbred line (RIL) population derived from Benning × PI 603535 was evaluated for three years under rain-fed conditions. CW was rated following extended periods of drought when CW variation was present. Aerial multispectral and thermal imagery was also captured in conjunction with visual ratings to explore the feasibility of implementing remote sensing to improve the efficiency and objectivity of drought evaluations. The normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) and green-based NDVI (GNDVI) exhibited strong, significant correlations (|r|= 0.42-0.44) with CW across years. CW scores and the remote sensing traits were used as phenotypes for QTL mapping. Seven CW QTLs were identified across six chromosomes in the combined analysis, with NDVI and GNDVI QTLs generally colocalizing with the CW QTLs with the highest percentage of variation explained (PVE). The QTLs were not consistently identified among individual years, highlighting the complex genetics and gene expression of drought tolerance. The instability and low additive effect estimates of individual QTLs imply challenges of improving drought tolerance through the selection of a few QTLs. However, the slow CW RILs developed in this study can serve as valuable breeding stocks for future drought improvement breeding efforts and genetic studies.
