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
key messageThe study identified novel, drought-responsive markers and potential candidate genes for kernel quality traits under drought stress which are important genomic resources to breed resilient and nutritious groundnut varieties. Nutritional quality traits are crucial in crop breeding, especially with climate change affecting quality and yield. Increasing dry spells in semiarid regions require understanding drought stress effects on oil, protein, and fatty acid contents of groundnut kernels, and the molecular mechanisms governing these traits. The study showed a reduction in oil content and increase in protein content in a MAGIC population of groundnut under drought stress. MAGIC population exhibited high diversity with 13,937 polymorphic markers and are valuable for the genetic dissection of complex traits as compared to a RIL population with 800 polymorphic markers. Genome-wide association study (GWAS) employing multi-locus models such as BLINK, and MLMM identified 45 significant MTAs for oil, protein, oleic acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid, and linoleic acid under normal and drought stress across all chromosomes except A06, B01, B02, B03, B04, B05, and B06. Fourteen SNPs are identified with > 10% PVE linked to six quality traits, seven pleiotropic SNPs associated with multiple traits, and nine SNPs in both models across at least in two environments. Potential candidate genes for quality traits under drought stress are RING finger proteins and protein kinases for oil content; CASP-like protein and geranylgeranyl diphosphate reductase (GLDR) for protein content, and fatty acid desaturase 2, MYB transcription factor, and AMMECR1 family for oleic and palmitic acid content having role in various biosynthetic and lipid pathways. The MTAs identified in this study hold potential for development into assays for genomic-assisted selection to enhance nutritional quality and drought resilience in groundnut.
