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

Introduction: Amaranth ( Methods: This study evaluated vegetable yield performance, agronomic traits, G × E interaction, and gender-disaggregated farmer preference of 23 Results: Significant G × E interactions were observed for marketable vegetable yield, biomass, and morphological traits. Mean marketable yield was higher at the World Vegetable Center Eastern and Southern Africa (WorldVeg-ESA) on-station location (37.75 t/ha) than at the Himo on-farm location (31.18 t/ha). GGE biplot analysis showed that PC1 and PC2 explained 81% and 19% of the total variation, respectively. Participatory evaluation showed overlapping preferences among male and female farmers, favoring genotypes with high biomass, narrow leaves, and fast and high regrowth ability. Discussion: Three promising genotypes were identified: AVAM2402 adapted to both locations, AVAM2404 adapted to Himo, and AVAM2408 adapted to WorldVeg-ESA. These lines will be advanced for distinctiveness, uniformity, and stability (DUS) testing for possible release as commercial varieties.
