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
Commercial potato (Solanum tuberosum) in North America is a clonal autotetraploid crop, which complicates breeding. Efforts are underway to convert potato to a diploid inbred-hybrid crop, allowing breeders to more quickly meet market and environmental demands. With the goal of preserving haplotypes developed over 200 years of selection, diploid potato breeding in the United States started with the creation of diploids from tetraploid commercial varieties and advanced breeding lines through prickle pollination. This is an effective but slow method, which presents a barrier to entry for individual breeding programs. Therefore, we developed 97 publicly available dihaploids (diploids from prickle pollination of tetraploids) as a resource for diploid breeding in the United States. These clones contain the majority of alleles in the US breeding population for three market classes: chips, russets, and fresh market reds. To facilitate genomic informed breeding, all clones have been resequenced, and we have developed de novo assemblies for 20 individuals. As an illustration of how these data will be used in breeding, we explored the maturity locus (StCDF1) and identified 15 different alleles. The majority of dihaploids were heterozygous for early and late alleles, resulting in intermediate maturity. Beyond informing breeding, these data facilitate investigations into potato genomics. The dihaploid population is both highly heterozygous and incredibly diverse on a population level. In particular, there is extensive structural diversity segregating within the population. This contrasts with a relatively low genome-wide historical recombination rate (ρ), indicating that much of potato's high diversity is found within long linkage blocks.
