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 raw material for China's baijiu (liquor) brewing industry, and the tannin content in its grains directly affects the quality and nutritional value of the liquor. Grain color is closely associated with tannin content, yet the genetic mechanism underlying grain color formation remains incompletely understood. In this study, we systematically observed grain development in the yellow-grained sorghum line GW605. The results showed that from 1 to 16 days after flowering (DAF), the grains underwent a rapid growth phase, after which the expansion rate slowed. On 25 DAF, the green color of the grains gradually faded, shifting from white to yellow and continuously deepening, ultimately turning dark yellow. A segregating population was subsequently constructed using GW605 (yellow grain) and 6E16 (white grain) as parents. Bulked segregant analysis (BSA) localized the gene controlling the yellow grain to chromosome 1. Through fine mapping based on recombinant individuals, the gene was narrowed to a 108 kb physical interval containing seven candidate genes. Sequencing and functional annotation of the candidate genes suggested that
