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

First pod height (FPH) is a critical agronomic trait in soybean because it directly affects mechanized harvesting efficiency and harvestable yield. Pods below the cutter-bar height are left uncollected, leading to direct seed loss. However, the genetic architecture underlying FPH remains largely underexplored. Here, we conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) on FPH data using 386 soybean accessions evaluated across three environments, together with best linear unbiased prediction (BLUP) values. Phenotypic analysis showed that cultivated soybean exhibited significantly greater FPH than wild accessions, consistent with selection for improved harvestability during domestication. Using two GWAS methods, RTM-GWAS and EMMAX, we identified seven stable (detected by the same method at least three times) quantitative trait nucleotides/loci (QTNs/QTLs) significantly associated with FPH. By integrating sequence variation, gene expression, and functional description, we identified
