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

key messageA total of 6 major stable QTLs and 59 pairwise epistatic eQTLs for quality-related traits were identified, and the candidate genes underlying qDt-KJ 4B, a novel major and stable QTL for dough tractility, were identified Wheat quality traits are usually negatively correlated with yield traits, but they affect the processing quality and nutritional value of wheat. Therefore, identifying more wheat quantitative trait loci (QTLs) and elucidating their genetic basis are essential for cultivating new high-quality and high-yielding wheat varieties. In this study, QTL analysis for five quality-related traits was performed on a recombinant inbred line (RIL) mapping population, KJ-RIL, derived from a cross between Kenong 9204 (KN9204) and Jing 411 (J411). A total of 6 major stable QTLs and 59 pairwise epistatic eQTLs (eQTLs) for dough tractility (DT), kernel hardness (KH), Zeleny sedimentation value (ZEL), water absorption (WAR) and wet gluten content (WGC) were identified in multiple environments. The genetic effects and additive pyramiding effects of the major and stable QTLs of qDt-KJ-4B on quality- and yield-related traits were characterized. The DT phenotypic values of the KJ-RILs increased with the number of favourable QTLs. BAB (only qDt-KJ-5D did not harbour favourable alleles) and BBA (only qDt-KJ-4A did not harbour favourable alleles) were the best combination for improving both the quality and yield potential of qDt-KJ-4B, qDt-KJ-4A and qDt-KJ-5D. The candidate genes underlying qDt-KJ-4B were predicted on the basis of multiomics data, with TraesKN4B01HG03930 and TraesKN4B01HG03950 as the most likely candidate genes. Overall, our results are helpful for elucidating the genetic relationships between quality- and yield-related traits and will aid in future development of new high-quality and high-yield wheat varieties to meet diverse consumption needs.
