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.
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
This study employed Hayman's diallel analysis to investigate the inheritance patterns of eight agronomic traits in durum wheat (Triticum durum Desf.) using a 4 × 4 half-diallel mating design evaluated across F1 and F2 generations. Field trials were conducted at the INRAA experimental station in Sétif, Algeria, during the 2021-2022 and 2023-2024 growing seasons. The analysis revealed significant genotypic variation across all studied traits, with distinct inheritance patterns emerging between generations. Plant height was predominantly governed by additive gene action. In contrast, spike length and number of grains per spike shifted from overdominance in F1 to partial dominance in F2, reflecting enhanced additive effects post-recombination. Yield components, including spike weight, number of spikes per plant, and grain yield, exhibited persistent non-additive inheritance and overdominance across generations, indicating limited early-generation selection efficiency. Dominance effects were significant in F1 but diminished in F2 for most traits, suggesting a recombination-mediated breakdown of heterotic patterns. Allele distribution was asymmetric, highlighting unequal parental contributions and the potential for heterosis exploitation. Most traits were controlled by a single gene or a closely linked gene block, as indicated by the [Formula: see text] ratio. High broad-sense heritability, in contrast to variable narrow-sense heritability, suggests the need for generation-specific breeding strategies. These findings support pedigree selection for additive traits in early generations and recurrent or advanced-generation selection for yield components, thereby optimizing durum wheat improvement under semi-arid Mediterranean conditions.
