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

MAIN

conclusionAdditive effects of three candidate genes-SAMBA, NAC TF25, and ARF18-significantly influenced seed weight in Brassica juncea, collectively accounting for 35.79% of the trait variation. Seed weight is a major determinant of seed yield in Brassica juncea, yet its inheritance and underlying genes remain insufficiently understood. To address this, generation mean analysis (GMA) was conducted using populations derived from two contrasting parents, DRMRIJ-31 (bold seeded) and RLC-3 (small seeded), for thousand-seed weight (TSW). In addition, a GWAS was conducted employing SNP genotyping of 142 diverse genotypes of B. juncea targeting TSW across 2 rabi seasons (2020-2021 and 2021-2022). GMA suggested the predominance of d, h and i components influencing the seed weight, along with a significant maternal influence. GWAS identified two stable SNPs, Bj-B3-p17726495 (PVE: 17.77%; chromosome B03) and Bj-B4-p10707039 (PVE: 18.05%; chromosome B04), associated with candidate genes SAMBA and NAC TF25, respectively. Cloning and sequencing of these genes from both parents uncovered multiple SNPs and In/Dels, highlighting their potential role in trait variation. Molecular markers developed from these MTAs were validated in F
