Phenotypic and genomic insights into alfalfa diversity: Identifying critical loci for enhanced resilience.
Article in The plant genome, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) is a globally important forage crop, yet the relationship between its phenotypic variation and underlying genetic structure remains poorly resolved. In this study, we combined spatially adjusted, multiyear phenotyping with high-density single-nucleotide polymorphism genotyping in a panel of 395 cultivated accessions to (i) characterize the structure of phenotypic diversity across a broad range of agronomic traits, (ii) quantify the correspondence between phenotypic and genetic structure, and (iii) identify specific traits and genomic regions associated with genetic differentiation. Phenotypic data were collected across multiple locations and years, while genotypic data were obtained using genotyping by sequencing. Multivariate and feature selection analyses revealed nine phenotypic groups, with 78 traits confirmed as important, especially anthracnose resistance and lodging susceptibility. However, phenotypic clustering showed only moderate correspondence with genetic structure (Mantel r = 0.17, p = 0.001). Genome-wide scans for genetic groups differentiation (F
