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

Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] is a critical crop globally, valued for its protein and oil content. However, historical bottlenecks have constrained genetic diversity in soybean, particularly in high-latitude regions such as North Dakota, where environmental conditions necessitate maturity group (MG) 00 and 0 cultivars. This genetic diversity study examines the North Dakota State University (NDSU) soybean breeding program using pedigree, coefficient of parentage (CP), and SNP-based analyses. Pedigree tracing of 40 NDSU cultivars revealed a genetic base derived from 49 founders. CP analysis confirmed these findings, emphasizing dependence on limited germplasm, with the top ten founders accounting for over 70% of the genetic background and Mandarin (Ottawa) alone contributing 24%. SNP-based dendrograms and genetic relationship structures demonstrate the relationships among cultivars and founders. Notably, the specialty food grade natto cultivars formed a distinct cluster unrelated to commodity soybean. Population structure analyses emphasized the reliance on specific ancestral germplasm for breeding. This study underscores the need to diversify breeding materials to prevent genetic gain plateaus in MG 00 and 0 soybeans, thereby enhancing yield potential and adaptability in high-latitude regions.
