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

Cereal aphids, Sitobion avenae and Rhopalosiphum padi, cause severe yield loss in wheat crops as a consequence of direct feeding damage and acting as vectors for Barley Yellow Dwarf Virus (BYDV). Insecticides have commonly been used to control these pests, but the advent of insecticide resistance spreading across aphid populations and the push to reduce insecticide use means that new approaches to control aphid populations are required. Wheat varieties with metabolite-based aphid resistance have been identified, suggesting that they could be developed as an alternative to insecticides. Resistance induced by natural products (metabolites) include volatile organic compound-mediated (antixenotic) and development-modifying (antibiotic) processes. Full characterisation of these resistance mechanisms is still required, and associated challenges, such as the influence of biotic and abiotic interactions, need to be addressed prior to their implementation into integrated pest management (IPM) or engineered into modern elite wheats. In this review, current literature on metabolite-based S. avenae and R. padi resistance in wheat is discussed, outlining current knowledge gaps and challenges, and highlighting the future work required. © 2025 The Author(s).
