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

Introduction: Tomato is a globally important crop and the second most consumed vegetable worldwide, with an estimated global production of 188 million tons annually. However, high-yield production systems increase vulnerability to pests and diseases, posing major challenges for tomato breeding programs. This study aimed to evaluate combining ability and identify superior Italian-type tomato hybrids by integrating a North Carolina II (NCII) mating design with multi-trait selection using the multi-trait genotype-ideotype distance index (MGIDI). Methods: Nine inbred lines previously characterized for resistance alleles were crossed in a 4 × 5 factorial scheme, generating 20 hybrids, which were evaluated together with their parents and a commercial check in a randomized complete block design with three replications. Traits related to plant architecture, yield, and fruit quality were assessed. Results and discussion: Combining ability analysis based on the NCII design revealed significant effects of specific combining ability (SCA) (
