Enhancing hybridization potential through standardizing emasculation techniques and molecular marker integration in finger millet (Eleusine coracana L.).
Article in Plant methods, 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
backgroundFinger millet (Eleusine coracana L.) has been cultivated for thousands of years in semi-arid regions of Asia and Africa. The grains have immense nutritional potential, but the genetic gains needed for high yield are yet to be realized. In the absence of an efficient crossing technique, recombination breeding is still challenging in finger millet genetic improvement programs, owing to its small floret size and highly self-fertilizing nature. In this study, we evaluated three different emasculation methods for finger millet, including a modified hot water technique and different concentrations of two gametocides, trifluoromethanesulfonamide (TFMSA) and gibberellic acid (GA
resultsThe study revealed a successful emasculation rate of up to 80% using modified hot water treatment at 52 °C for 2 min, when treated on the second day of anthesis in the designated panicles. Further, a similar success rate was noted with a single dose of TFMSA @ 10 mg or two doses of GA
conclusionThese improved emasculation methods (Modified hot water, TFMSA, GA
