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

Centralizing valuable community data and resources into a user-friendly interface and accessible repository has become essential for agricultural science; embracing Findable Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable (FAIR) principles is now standard for effective databases. SorghumBase (https://www.sorghumbase.org) is a knowledgebase designed for the sorghum research community. The SorghumBase team curates genomic, transcriptomic, variation, and phenotypic information and aggregates community events, providing rich visualizations and bulk data access. The modular framework of the database is built with open-access software to yield a robust, modifiable, and sustainable data infrastructure. Release 9 of SorghumBase includes: (i) 88 sorghum reference genomes and an updated pan-gene index, (ii) over 100 million variants have been mapped onto the 2 genomes, BTx623 and Tx2783, (iii) assignment of 41 million Reference Cluster SNP identifiers (rsIDs) from BTx623 across the pan-genome, (iv) updated gene search homology, gene expression, and germplasm visualizations and features, (v) added and standardized 234 phenotypic data from 40 community-generated GWAS studies and 148 traits from the Sorghum QTL Atlas (Oz Sorghum), (vi) improved news, funding, and a research content management system for community access and interaction, (vii) outreach materials including training documents and videos, and (viii) community engagement initiatives through training and working groups. SorghumBase serves as a hub for sorghum data and stakeholder engagement while promoting community standards to drive research and multi-omics breeding approaches.
