Water soaking in strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa) has a polygenic background and is strongly influenced by environmental factors.

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
backgroundWater soaking (WS) is an economically important surface disorder in open-field production of strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa). The disorder, which impairs fruit quality and quantity, develops after exposure of maturing fruit to rain or high concentrations of water vapor. The susceptibility to WS differs among genotypes, suggesting a genetic component, with earlier studies establishing a close positive relationship between susceptibility to WS and the water permeance of the fruit skin. However, until now, no published studies on the underlying genetics of WS exist. Here, we aimed to identify genetic regions associated with WS and fruit skin permeability using a genetic mapping approach.
resultsA biparental F
conclusionThe detection of several QTLs and the moderate broad-sense heritability of 0.49 suggest a polygenic background of WS. These findings provide the first steps towards understanding the genetic background of this trait, which will allow for developing tolerant cultivars for open-field production.
