Genetic variability in fruit-to-bean conversion efficiency among
Article in Frontiers in plant science, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Introduction: Methods: We evaluated 44 genotypes cultivated in eastern Minas Gerais, Brazil, a recently established production frontier. Traits assessed included the ratio of ripe fruit mass to dry bean mass (RFM/DBM), the ratio of ripe fruit volume to ripe fruit mass (RFV/RFM), grain and husk mass percentages, and average yield expressed in fruit volume and mass. Results: Significant genetic variability was detected, with moderate to high heritability (48-59%). Hierarchical clustering identified four groups with contrasting efficiency profiles, while mean comparisons revealed genotypes with reduced fruit biomass requirements, higher fruit density, and greater grain proportion. Bean mass percentage ranged from 48% to 61%, and average yield varied from 325.92 to 470.33 L per 60-kg bag and from 209.22 to 282.61 kg of ripe fruits per bag. Several genotypes showed superior conversion efficiency, including LMG 11, LMG 01, LMG 07, LMG 08, and Graudão HP, which combined low fruit-to-bean ratios with high grain mass proportions. Discussion: These results demonstrate exploitable genetic variability and provide reference parameters to support breeding, regional recommendations, and strategies to enhance processing efficiency in
