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.
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
Parthenocarpy is an important target trait for the yield and quality of fruit crops. It has been used and selected in cucumber breeding for more than a hundred years, which has led to variation in parthenocarpic ability among different cucumber groups and thus resulted in a complex genetic basis. Here, we performed deep resequencing of 236 cucumbers from six cucumber groups and investigated parthenocarpic phenotypes over three years and six seasons to explore the genetic basis of parthenocarpy in cucumber. Among the 34 loci associated with parthenocarpy identified through a genome-wide association study (GWAS), 17 (50%) were correlated with reported quantitative trait loci (QTLs), and 27 (79.4%) were selected during cucumber domestication. We found that favorable parthenocarpic alleles continuously accumulated in cultivated cucumbers, and our data pinpoint that different favorable alleles were selected in the cucumber groups, leading to variations in parthenocarpic ability among them. To validate the favorable alleles detected by GWAS, we cloned three genes, CsACA10, CsCaM, and CsERT2, and verified their roles in the regulation of parthenocarpy for the first time. Our study elucidated the genetic basis and molecular mechanism of parthenocarpy, providing important germplasms for improving parthenocarpy in cucumber breeding.
