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
Iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) deficiencies frequently limit nutrient acquisition and grain micronutrient accumulation in rice grown under direct-seeded rice (DSR) systems due to reduced micronutrient availability in aerobic soils. Understanding the genetic architecture controlling micronutrient uptake and its association with root system architecture (RSA) is critical for developing nutrient-efficient rice varieties. In this study, a diverse panel of 290 rice genotypes was evaluated for RSA, agronomic traits, and grain Fe and Zn concentration under DSR conditions across three years. Genome-wide association analysis using 18,639 high-quality SNP markers identified 118 significant marker-trait associations distributed across the rice genome. Several loci exhibited pleiotropic effects, linking RSA traits with grain micronutrient accumulation and yield-related traits. Notably, multiple genomic regions co-localized with previously reported QTLs and key genes involved in metal homeostasis, including OsIRO2, OsNAS, OsYSL, OsZIP, OsHMA2, and OsVIT1, suggesting conserved regulatory mechanisms controlling Fe and Zn uptake. Expression profiling under Fe and Zn deficiency further revealed differential regulation of transcription factors and metal transporters between nutrient-efficient and inefficient genotypes, indicating genotype-specific adaptive responses to micronutrient stress. These findings provide insights into the genetic basis of micronutrient uptake and identify promising donors, genomic regions and candidate genes for marker-assisted breeding of nutrient-efficient rice varieties adapted to DSR cultivation systems.
