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

backgroundAn optimal flowering time of Brassica napus L. (B. napus) plants leads to greater yield stability across multiple growing conditions and is therefore highly important for plant breeders.

resultsA genome-wide association study was performed for flowering time (FT) using a natural population comprising 157 inbred lines of rapeseed. A total of 126 associations between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and the flowering time trait were identified with a P value < 1e-5, resulting in the identification of 12 QTLs named qFT1 to qFT12. Using transcripts of 205 genes in 12 QTL intervals and 922 homologs of known genes from Arabidopsis, we developed a gene coexpression network for flowering time in rapeseed and prioritized candidate genes in 12 QTL intervals. Furthermore, a candidate gene-based association study suggested that the role of BnaC08. UXS1 is involved in controlling flowering time, and two CAPS/dCAPS markers were developed to distinguish different haplotypes.

conclusionsThis study contributes to the wealth of knowledge that genetic locus controlling flowering time in rapeseed. It also provides practical information for breeders to better predict the results of using two CAPS/dCAPS markers in future breeding programs.
