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

One of the study’s main goals is to find high-yielding and stable genotypes in cotton under normal irrigation conditions (NIC) and drought stress conditions (DSC), as well as the comparison between parametric and non-parametric stability statistics. In order to achieve this objective, 24 cotton genotypes were evaluated under NIC and DSC during the 2019 and 2020 growing seasons (four environments) at the Sakha Agriculture Research Station in the Kafr El-Sheikh Governorate of Egypt. Every trial was set up using a randomized complete block design with three replications. According to the ANOVA, years under NIC and genotypes under DSC had a highly significant impact on the seed cotton yield. The AMMI analysis showed significant effects of environments (P < 0.01), genotypes, and their interaction (GEI) (P < 0.05) on seed cotton yield in four environments (two years and two irrigation conditions). The AMMI model successfully divided the variability by GEI into three principal component axes (PCs), only PC1 explained 87% of the total variability of GEI. When compared to NIC, seed cotton productivity across DSC was found to be significantly reduced, ranging from 8.54% (G5 genotype) to 42.38% (G3 genotype). The stability statistics have the ability to separate, rank, and detect stable genotypes in both irrigation conditions. According to Yi, YSi and TOP stability measures, the genotypes G1, G5, G20 and G19 were determined as the most stable genotypes (dynamically) with the highest yielding performance, while, the genotypes G8 and G4 were the most stable (statically) with moderate seed cotton yield using most other stability statistics. Based on rank, Spearman’s rank correlation, PCA biplot and heatmap data, the stability parameters can be divided into two major groups that corresponded to different dynamic and static concepts of stability under NIC and DSC. The first group includes YSi and TOP, which are strongly correlated with Yi (dynamic). While, the second group has other stability statistics, which negatively correlated with Yi, thus related to the static concept. Generally, the genotypes G5 and G8 were stable coupled with high and moderate yield, respectively. Therefore, these genotypes are used in the cotton breeding programs for the development of improved cotton varieties to address drought conditions in Egypt.
