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

Flowering time in maize is a complex quantitative trait regulated by multiple genes, and its genetic variation mechanisms remain to be fully elucidated. In this study, we phenotypically evaluated flowering-related traits (days to tasseling, days to pollen shedding, days to silking) across six different environments using an association population comprising 368 maize varieties. Genome-wide association studies were employed to dissect the genetic basis of these traits. A total of 261 significant association single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs; logarithm of odds > 5.5) were detected, among which 23 SNPs were consistently identified across multiple environments or traits. By integrating population fixation index, we further screened 41 potential candidate genes, including Zm00001d006213, Zm00001d027394, and Zm00001d027395, which are likely key regulators of flowering time. These findings provide both theoretical insights into the genetic regulatory network of maize flowering time and valuable gene resources for molecular breeding.
