The science and legacies of Ronald Phillips: A brief perspective.
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 1 paper.
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
Ronald Phillips, a maize geneticist, developed his career exploiting maize and the genetics of other species to help bring plant science into the era of molecular genetics. He was driven by belief in the value of service for the common good and in the value and importance of science for its own sake and for agriculture and food security, in particular. His career was a journey along the frontiers of plant science-from early DNA isolation to whole genome sequence revelations and into agricultural biotechnology. He represented the progress along the way in the maize genetics community, in national and international science and at the highest levels of influence. He was a caring, celebrated scientist who made a difference for people and institutions and left plant science so much further advanced than when he joined it in the mid-1960s.
