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

This paper offers the first nationwide analysis of Vietnamese rice varieties by combining DNA-based identification with quantitative trait loci (QTLs) and household survey data. Using nationally representative data from 2022, we found that 51% of rice farmers grew improved varieties. These varieties contained significantly more beneficial QTLs associated with yield, grain quality, and resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses than genetically unidentified varieties. On average, the improved varieties cultivated had been released 14 years prior to 2022. Farmer’s socioeconomic characteristics correlated with adoption patterns: belonging to an ethnic minority or residing in a government-classified poor commune significantly reduced the likelihood of growing an improved variety. Among adopters, varietal traits were further associated with specific adoption choices. Each additional trait-related QTL was associated with a 0.9% point increase in a province’s adoption rate. Traits conferring tolerance to abiotic stress were positively associated with adoption, suggesting farmers may prefer varieties that enhance resilience to environmental stressors.
