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

The wheat and rye spike normally bears one spikelet per rachis node, and the appearance of supernumerary spikelets is rare. The loci responsible for the 'multirow spike' or MRS trait in wheat, and the 'monstrosum spike' trait in rye were mapped by genotyping F(2) populations with microsatellite markers. Both MRS and the 'monstrosum' trait are under the control of a recessive allele at a single locus. The Mrs1 locus is located on chromosome 2DS, co-segregating with the microsatellite locus Xwmc453. The placement of flanking microsatellite loci into chromosome deletion bin 2DS-5 (FL 0.47-1.0) delimited the physical location of Mrs1 to the distal half of chromosome arm 2DS, within the gene rich region 2S0.8. The Mo1 locus maps about 10 cM from the centromere on chromosome arm 2RS. The similar effect on phenotype of mo1 and mrs1, together with their presence in regions of conserved synteny, suggest that they may well be members of an orthologous set of Triticeae genes governing spike branching. The practical importance of the MRS spike is that it produces more spikelets per spike, and thereby enhances the sink capacity of wheat, which is believed to limit the yield potential of the crop.
