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

Maize is a staple food crop in sub-Saharan Africa, where increasing productivity is essential for food security. This study assessed testcross performance and combining ability of early- to medium-maturity doubled haploid (DH) maize lines adapted to eastern Africa. A total of 732 testcross hybrids derived from 244 DH lines crossed with six testers, along with six commercial checks, were evaluated across eight locations. Agronomic and disease-related traits were recorded and analysed using mixed models, line × tester analysis and stability tools (AMMI and GGE biplots). Significant genetic variation (
