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

Climate change and increasing pressure on water resources have renewed interest in autumn cultivation of sugar beet, a practice that benefits from seasonal precipitation and reduces dependence on irrigation. However, bolting remains a major limitation, substantially affecting yield stability and the economic viability of production. This study evaluated ten experimental sugar beet hybrids and two bolting-resistant control varieties across three environments over two cropping years (2022-2023 and 2023-2024). Randomized complete block design with four replications was implemented for agronomic evaluations. The vernalization-intensity model was used to estimate vernalization threshold (VT) and bolting sensitivity. Genotype BOL436 exhibited the highest VT (134 h) but also showed pronounced sensitivity to bolting. In contrast, genotypes BOL435 and BOL434, with similarly high VT values, displayed low bolting sensitivity and thus greater suitability for fluctuating winter conditions. Combined ANOVA revealed significant genotype and environment effects (P < 0.01) for all measured traits, while genotype-environment interaction (GEI) significantly influenced white sugar yield (WSY) and root yield (RY). Additive main effects and multiplicative interactions (AMMI) analysis indicated that the first two interaction principal components (IPCs) accounted for 75.20% of GEI variation in WSY, whereas IPC1 alone explained 57.60% for RY. WAASB-based stability analysis identified BOL375, BOL239, BOL376, and BOL068 as stable, high-performing genotypes for WSY, with BOL239, BOL375, BOL068, and BOL435 showing comparable superiority for RY. Results from the WAASBY index were consistent with these findings. Multi-trait stability index (MTSI) analysis further highlighted BOL434, BOL376, and BOL239 as the most stable genotypes across agronomic and qualitative traits. Overall, the results demonstrate that autumn cultivation, supported by robust modeling and stability analysis, can contribute to reduced irrigation needs, while the identified genotypes offer promising options for enhancing productivity and minimizing bolting risk in water-limited environments.
