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

Vitamin E is an essential dietary nutrient, yet deficiency affects large populations, especially in rice-dependent developing countries. To dissect the genetic basis of grain vitamin E content in rice, we performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) on a diverse panel of 533 rice accessions. A strongly associated locus, VEQ2, was identified on chromosome 2, where the CC genotype significantly increased α-tocopherol content compared with the TT genotype. We developed a kompetitive allele-specific PCR (KASP) marker for VEQ2 and validated its effect in an F
