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

Wheat serves as the primary source of staple food for the global human population, thus also making it a significant portion of the calorie intake in our daily vegetarian diets. However, in most of the improved wheat cultivars used for food, the grain is deficient in iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn). Therefore, biofortification involving improvement of grain Fe and Zn has become an important area in the current wheat breeding programmes. For this purpose, efforts have been made to develop alien substitution lines and utilize them for transfer of desirable alien genes to improved wheat cultivars. In the present study, two such genotypes in the background of improved cultivar PBW343LrYr were utilized for pyramiding of the following six desirable genes for enrichment of grain Fe and Zn: Supplementary Information: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s11032-025-01566-0.
