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

Yield heterosis has been extensively exploited in hybrid breeding, with intersubspecific hybrids often exhibiting the most pronounced effects. However, developing elite hybrids remains a laborious and time-consuming process. The genetic basis of heterosis has been debated for over a century, hindered largely by the lack of high-quality genomes. Here, we assembled genomes for 12 representative indica, intermediate type and japonica rice accessions. Using sequence variants of the Phr1 gene, we functionally validated two deletions responsible for phenol reaction variation between the subspecies. Comparative genomic analyses revealed extensive sequence variation among these inbred lines and highlighted the pivotal role of structural variants (SVs) in rice subspeciation. Importantly, the number of SVs between parental inbred lines significantly correlated with heterosis across 17 agronomic traits, with distinct correlation patterns for intra- and intersubspecific F
