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

BACKGROUND/

objectivesInduced mutagenesis is vital in genetic enhancement and trait discovery, for genetic analysis and breeding of novel crop varieties with desirable product profiles. Understanding the genetic relationships among newly developed mutant genotypes enables targeted selection and genetic recombination. Therefore, the objective of the current study was to assess the genetic diversity among mutant bread wheat genotypes developed through ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS) mutagenesis using phenotypic traits and diagnostic simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers to identify novel mutants and traits for breeding.

methodsSixteen advanced (M6) mutant lines, one parental genotype, and three check varieties were genetically profiled using ten diagnostic SSR markers. The genotypes were evaluated for agronomic traits under drought-stressed (DS) and non-stressed (NS) conditions using a 10 × 2 alpha lattice design with two replications.

resultsThe SSR markers revealed a total of 21 alleles, with an average of 2.10 alleles per locus. An average polymorphic information content (PIC) of 0.51 was computed, revealing moderate informativeness of the genetic markers. Significant (

conclusionsWheat mutants LMA16, LMA44, and LMA53 were identified as genetically distinct and high yielders under drought stress conditions and recommended for production in rain-fed environments. The selected mutants are a valuable source of genes for wheat improvement programs.
