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

key messageTwo novel QTLs conferring Fusarium stalk rot resistance were identified in the Kemater flint landrace population, thereby broadening the genetic base for FSR resistance breeding. Given the polygenic inheritance of Fusarium stalk rot resistance, genomic selection could be explored as a potential strategy for improving resistance to stalk rot in maize. Fusarium stalk rot (FSR) is one of the most prevalent and destructive soil-borne diseases of maize, caused by Fusarium graminearum (teleomorph Gibberella zeae), which leads to substantial yield losses worldwide. This study investigated the genetic basis of FSR resistance in the Austrian "Kemater Landmais Gelb" (KE) population under field conditions. A total of 180 KE testcrosses were generated by crossing 180 randomly chosen KE doubled-haploid lines with a dent tester line. These testcrosses were evaluated following artificial inoculation with F. graminearum using needle injection, and disease severity was assessed based on internode proportion, a robust phenotyping scale for FSR. Field trials were conducted using an alpha-lattice design with two replications across two locations over two years. Moderate-to-high broad-sense heritability estimates (H
