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

key messageA major QTL conferring powdery mildew resistance was fine mapped to a 54.8 kb region on chromosome 2 using an interspecific RIL population (Citrullus mucosospermus × Citrullus lanatus). Four co-segregating KASP markers were developed and validated across multiple populations, demonstrating their utility for marker-assisted selection. Powdery mildew, caused by Podosphaera xanthii, is a major fungal disease that significantly affects watermelon production worldwide. Developing resistant cultivars through marker-assisted selection (MAS) offers an effective and sustainable strategy for disease management. In this study, a 54,772 bp quantitative trait locus (QTL) associated with powdery mildew resistance was mapped to chromosome 2 (30,111,475-30,166,247 bp) using an F
