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
Fruit morphology has a significant impact on the agronomic performance of chile peppers, influencing both yield potential and mechanical harvest efficiency. Through the integration of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) with Tomato Analyzer, an image-based phenomics tool, we aim to identify single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers associated with fruit architecture and morphology. A Capsicum association mapping panel (CAMP) consisting of 129 genotypes was evaluated under an augmented field design for the 2024 growing season in New Mexico, United States. Best linear unbiased predictions (BLUPs) were reported for maximum fruit height (MAXH), maximum fruit width (MAXW), curved fruit height (CURH), width mid-height (WMH), height mid-width (HMW), area (ARA), perimeter (PER), 10-pod weight (PODW), and yield (YLD). Medium to low narrow-sense heritability (h2), ranging between 0.18 and 0.33, was observed. A medium to high Pearson correlation (r = 0.23 to 1.00) was observed for all traits except WMH. After filtration and imputation, 40,709 genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) SNP markers were used to perform multilocus GWAS. A total of 169 SNP markers associated with seven basic fruit measurements across 12 chromosomes were identified. A SNP marker, SCM002812.1_10016804 on chromosome 1, identified across multiple GWAS models was found to be associated with the potential candidate gene, YABBY4, which can regulate fruit development. Other candidate genes identified included FRIGIDA-like protein 3, COBRA-like protein, and auxin-responsive protein SAUR65 regulating flower, fruit, and shoot development. The findings of this study will be relevant for the development of molecular markers for marker-assisted selection, genomic selection for basic fruit morphology traits, and studying expression levels of genes regulating fruit development in chile peppers.
