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

Apple fruit weight is a critical quantitative trait controlled by multiple genes, with numerous quantitative trait loci (QTLs) having been identified. This study evaluated the potential of genome-assisted prediction (GAP) by genotyping 573 hybrids from six populations with 70 previously identified quantitative trait locus (QTL)-based markers. Genetic diversity and marker-trait association (MTA) analyses identified two optimized marker combinations. Results showed that using the screened marker combination with moderate PIC (Polymorphism Information Content, PIC) and HWE-conforming (Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium, HWE) significantly increased accuracy compared to the full marker set in specific populations, such as 'YM1' × 'Honeycrisp' (Y × H; r increased from 0.115 to 0.204;
