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

Polyploidy, which arises from genome duplication, has occurred throughout the history of eukaryotes, though it is especially common in plants. The resulting increased size, heterozygosity, and complexity of the genome can be an evolutionary opportunity, facilitating diversification, adaptation and the evolution of functional novelty. On the other hand, when they first arise, polyploids face a number of challenges, one of the biggest being the meiotic pairing, recombination and segregation of the suddenly more than two copies of each chromosome, which can limit their fertility. Both for developing polyploidy as a crop improvement tool (which holds great promise due to the high and lasting multi-stress resilience of polyploids), as well as for our basic understanding of meiosis and plant evolution, we need to know both the specific nature of the challenges polyploids face, as well as how they can be overcome in evolution. In recent years there has been a dramatic uptick in our understanding of the molecular basis of polyploid adaptations to meiotic challenges, and that is the focus of this review.
