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

Following the recent global progress in the establishment of soybean genomic resources, DNA marker technologies have been actively implemented in soybean breeding programs in Japan, thereby enhancing the efficiency of varietal improvement and facilitating the successive release of cultivars developed through the application of DNA markers. In particular, DNA markers developed for the selection of useful traits, such as pod-shattering resistance and bacterial leaf pustule resistance present in foreign germplasms, have facilitated the precise introgression of only the desired alleles from genetically divergent foreign germplasms into Japanese backgrounds. By increasing selection efficiency and shortening breeding cycles, these advances have substantially contributed to the recent improvements in Japanese soybean breeding. The present review consolidates findings on genetic variations identified in Japanese cultivars and breeding materials, which have been investigated for the development of such DNA markers, and from knowledge expected to contribute to future soybean breeding in Japan.
