'Brünnerling' group show that close relatedness and polyploidy make apple genetic diversity highly complex.
Article in BMC research notes, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveThis study uses molecular marker data from the apple cultivar collection of the German Fruit Genebank (GFG) to test the genetic coherence of the literature-defined ‘Brünnerling’ group and to resolve mislabelling and relationships through kinship/parentage and genetic distance analyses.
resultsParentage and genetic distance-based analyses showed that ‘Brünnerling’ cultivars can be distinguished on the molecular level. ‘Kleiner Brünnerling’ (Malus UNiQue genotype code (MUNQ) 2284) was identified as a major progenitor within the cultivar group. Pedigree relationships among the ‘Brünnerling’ cultivars are complex, particularly for triploid cultivars. Parentages from previous studies were confirmed with regard to MUNQs. For the putative triploid cultivar ‘Bühlers Erdbeerapfel’ (MUNQ 898), the genetic fingerprint data corresponded to the transfer of an unreduced gamete from MUNQ 8143, which is one of the two parental genotypes. In addition, it was also possible to identify the second parent. In the distance-based tree, the ‘Brünnerling’ cultivars formed a cluster with other cultivars, and the central role of ‘Kleiner Brünnerling’ was further highlighted.
