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
key messageIntegrated genome-wide and haplotype-based association analyses identified a key genomic locus governing plant growth habit (PGH) traits in chickpea. Identification of molecular markers governing plant growth habit (PGH) traits that enable mechanical harvestability is pivotal for boosting production efficiency of crops under changing climates and increasing global food demand. With a combinatorial integrated genomics-assisted breeding strategy comprising of association mapping, haplotype-based association, molecular haplotyping and gene expression analysis in a 286 association panel of chickpea (Cicer arietinum), we dissected the genetic basis of PGH traits. This study employed 382,171 genome-wide SNPs (single-nucleotide polymorphisms) obtained from whole-genome sequencing (WGS) of 286 desi and kabuli chickpea accessions and delineated a major genomic locus associated with PGH traits variation, particularly between erect (E)/semi-erect (SE) versus spreading (S)/semi-spreading (SS) types. Within this genomic loci, CaPAR1 (Cicer arietinum PAR1) and its derived natural alleles/haplotypes was identified as the candidate gene. These findings can facilitate generation of high-yielding, erect/semi-erect, mechanically harvestable cultivars through translational genomics and molecular breeding for genetic enhancement of chickpea.
