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

key messageGenetic analysis of wheat Distinctness, Uniformity, and Stability (DUS) characteristics identifies significant marker-trait associations for 15 DUS traits, including associations for 'seed: colouration with phenol' closely linked to Ppo-A1. Crop improvement via breeding underpins the yield gains required for future food security. Commercial development of new varieties is supported by the legal protection afforded by Plant Variety Rights, which for wheat is awarded via evaluation of 27 morphological 'characteristics' as part of Distinctness, Uniformity, and Stability (DUS) testing. While identification of molecular markers predictive for wheat DUS characteristics would be useful to aid processes such as variety identification and DUS test optimization, little is known about their genetic control. Here we assemble a panel of 412 European wheat varieties, along with corresponding DUS phenotypic data and genotype using the TaNG 43k genotyping array. The resulting 14,921 polymorphic genetic markers were distributed approximately evenly between the A (33%), B (38%), and D (29%) wheat sub-genomes. DUS characteristic heritability (h
