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

Genomic selection (GS) is a promising strategy to improve breeding efficiency for complex traits such as seed yield by enabling early selection and reducing reliance on extensive field testing. However, practical deployment of GS remains challenging due to limited training populations sizes and reduced predictive ability when models are applied to true breeding germplasm. In this study, we evaluated GS for flax ( Supplementary Information: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s11032-026-01684-3.
