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
In this study, we provide the first molecular-level dissection of the elite tetraploid potato parent Kexin23, elucidating the genetic basis of its superior breeding performance. Kexin23 exhibited an early maturity trait that was comparable to its female parent Kexin4 and stably transmitted to its progeny, indicating the inheritance of robust early-maturity genetic segments. Genetic structure analysis based on 465,000 SNP variants demonstrated that the parental contributions of Aula and Kexin4 to Kexin25 exceeded that to Kexin23, reflecting an asymmetric genetic contribution to Kexin23. A total of 5,147 Kexin23-specific variants were identified, which was significantly more than that in its sister line Kexin25 with 70 located in coding regions. Among these, the key gene C88_C12H1G014800 (encoding a zinc-finger protein) contained a premature termination mutation that suppressed expression, potentially associated with early maturity or high pollen viability. SNP analysis indicated that loci derived from Kexin23 in its offspring were enriched on chromosome Chr1-3 (with high Aula contribution) and chromosomes Chr2-1 and Chr4-2 (with high Kexin4 contribution). Contribution analysis revealed that Kexin23 transmitted an average of 55.75% of its genetic material to its offspring, with 44.02% derived from specific variants. These findings systematically reveal the convergence of asymmetric inheritance, elite-specific variation, and selective haplotype transmission in the formation of a superior parent. This study establishes a molecular framework for understanding elite parentage in tetraploid potato and provides concrete targets for marker-assisted selection and genomic editing to accelerate the breeding of early-maturing cultivars.
