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

backgroundGenomic prediction is a widely used method to predict phenotypes from genotypic data. Advances in both biological and computer science have enabled the generation of vast amounts of data and the development of new algorithms, specifically in the field of machine learning. However, systematic benchmarking of new genomic prediction methods, which is essential for objective evaluation and comparison, remains limited.

resultsHere, we present EasyGeSe, a tool that provides access to a curated collection of datasets for testing genomic prediction methods. This resource encompasses data from multiple species, including barley, common bean, lentil, loblolly pine, eastern oyster, maize, pig, rice, soybean and wheat, representing a broad biological diversity. We filtered and arranged these data in convenient formats, provided functions in R and Python for easy loading and benchmarked several modelling strategies for genomic prediction. Predictive performance, measured by Pearson's correlation coefficient (r), varied significantly by species and trait (p < 0.001), ranging from - 0.08 to 0.96, with a mean of 0.62. Comparisons among parametric, semi-parametric and non-parametric models revealed modest but statistically significant (p < 1e

conclusionsBy standardizing input data and evaluation procedures, this resource simplifies benchmarking and enables fair, reproducible comparisons of genomic prediction methods. It also broadens access to genomic prediction data, encouraging data scientists and interdisciplinary researchers to test novel modelling strategies.
