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

Phytophthora capsici causes severe root rot in chili crop, leading to significant global yield losses. Effective resistance screening across various environments is crucial to identify stable resistant genotypes with superior horticultural traits. This study aimed to investigate the resistance response of different chili genotypes and their crosses, along with their agronomic performance in diverse screening conditions. The controlled greenhouse environment enabled precise genotype screening, with AVPP-0206 and Turkey-1 demonstrating notable resistance. Screening under field conditions revealed high susceptibility in genotypes like A-132 and Wiz-21. Male fertile lines showed varying susceptibility, with Wiz-21 being highly susceptible, whereas AVPP-0206 and VRI-YP showed moderate resistance. Crosses involving resistant lines resulted in hybrids exhibiting moderate to strong resistance, while hybrids from susceptible lines showed high susceptibility. Heterosis estimates indicated that crosses such as A-441 × Turkey-1, A-512 × AVPP-0206, A-512 × VRI-YP, A-512 × Turkey-1, and A-512 × Turkey-14 exhibited positive commercial heterosis for fruit yield and negative heterosis for disease incidence. These crosses also showed significant specific combining ability (SCA) effects for fruit yield and disease resistance traits, which were consistent across all tested environments. These selected lines and crosses provide valuable genetic resources for breeders, offering a foundation for developing robust, high-yielding chili cultivars with enhanced root rot resistance and superior horticultural traits.
