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

Plant-parasitic nematodes are one of the most economically impactful pests in agriculture resulting in billions of dollars in realized annual losses worldwide. Soybean cyst nematode (SCN) is the number one biotic constraint on soybean production making it a priority for the discovery, validation and functional characterization of native plant resistance genes and genetic modes of action that can be deployed to improve soybean yield across the globe. Here, we present the discovery and functional characterization of a soybean resistance gene, GmSNAP02. We use unique bi-parental populations to fine-map the precise genomic location, and a combination of whole genome resequencing and gene fragment PCR amplifications to identify and confirm causal haplotypes. Lastly, we validate our candidate gene using CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing and observe a gain of resistance in edited plants. This demonstrates that the GmSNAP02 gene confers a unique mode of resistance to SCN through loss-of-function mutations that implicate GmSNAP02 as a nematode virulence target. We highlight the immediate impact of utilizing GmSNAP02 as a genome-editing-amenable target to diversify nematode resistance in commercially available cultivars.
