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

Stalk lodging causes global maize (Zea mays L.) yield losses exceeding $6 billion annually. The poorly resolved genetic architecture of stalk lodging resistance, a key determinant of the ability of a plant to remain upright, poses a major constraint for genetic improvement. Characterizing natural variation in plant traits that influence stalk strength across multiple biological scales, referred to as intermediate phenotypes, is critical for enhancing lodging resistance. Here, we present a high-density phenotypic dataset comprising 11 intermediate phenotypes measured on 31,260 stalks from a maize diversity panel of 566 inbred lines grown in four environments. The dataset captures variation in structural and geometric properties of stalks and provides a foundation for genetic mapping, predictive modeling, and machine learning analyses to dissect the genetic basis of stalk lodging resistance. Moreover, trait-level resolution across a genetically diverse panel enables evaluation of the relative contribution of individual phenotypes to stalk strength. Beyond maize improvement for grain and forage production, this dataset offers valuable opportunities for improving stalk lodging resistance in other grasses.
