Genetic basis of flavor complexity in sweet corn.
Article in Nature genetics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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.
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
Sweet corn is an important vegetable crop consumed globally. However, the genetic differentiation between field corn and sweet corn, and the impact of breeding on the metabolite composition and flavor (other than sweetness) of sweet corn, remain poorly understood. Here we assembled a cultivated sweet-corn genome de novo and re-sequenced 295 diverse sweet-corn inbred lines. We examined the genetic architecture of sweet-corn kernel quality by combining genetic, metabolite and expression profiling methodologies. New genes (for example, ZmAPS1, ZmSK1 and ZmCRR5) and metabolites associated with flavor and consumer preference were identified, highlighting important target flavor metabolites, including sugars, acids and volatiles. These findings provide valuable knowledge and targets for future genetic breeding of sweet-corn flavor, and to balance grain yield and quality and contribute to our broader understanding of crop diversification.
