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

Objective: Seed weight is a key factor in soybean yield and value, but its genetic basis and environmental stability are not fully understood. Despite many QTL studies, there's a lack of integration between bi-parental linkage mapping and diverse germplasm association analysis. We hypothesized that combining high-resolution QTL mapping in recombinant inbred lines with GWAS in natural populations could identify both population-specific and broadly segregating seed weight loci, aiding in candidate gene discovery for breeding. Methods: We integrated biparental QTL mapping with genome-wide association studies (GWAS) to comprehensively dissect the genetics of hundred-seed weight (HSW). A recombinant inbred line population of 325 F Results: QTL mapping identified 11 significant loci explaining 2.47-8.59% of phenotypic variance, with broad-sense heritability of 0.78. The major-effect QTL Novelty and conclusions: This first integrated QTL-GWAS analysis for soybean seed weight reveals both major-effect loci and polygenic architecture, providing validated molecular markers and candidate genes for breeding programs targeting yield improvement.
