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

Sorghum is an important crop in sub-Saharan Africa sustaining many livelihoods. However, despite its importance, sorghum continues to have limited research attention and priority and is categorized as one of the Neglected and Underutilised Species. The paucity of current information on genetic diversity and structure of sorghum accessions being cultivated, improved, introduced, and or conserved across east and southern Africa remains limited. Ex situ genetic diversity and population structure for 177 sorghum accessions from diverse sources was studied using high throughput Diversity Array Technology markers. A total of 15,220 DArTseq SNP markers were generated with over 90% call rate and 95% reproducibility. DArTseq SNP markers had an average polymorphic information content of 0.21 indicating the discriminatory power of DArTSeq markers. Genetic relationships estimated using discriminant analysis of principal components and ancestry coefficients revealed eight populations. Observed heterozygosity was lower than the expected heterozygosity across populations with a mean inbreeding coefficient (F
