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

Tiller number is a crucial determinant of grain yield in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), and identifying functional alleles can enhance our understanding of wheat tiller development. Here, we describe the ot2 wheat mutant, which exhibits a 91% reduction in tiller number compared to the wild type and displays inhibited tiller bud differentiation from the 2-3 leaf stage. Bulked segregant analysis combined with exon sequencing mapped the Taot2 gene to chromosome 1BL. Fourteen kompetitive allele-specific PCR markers were developed and utilized to narrow down the region containing Taot2 to a 2.22 Mb interval. This region encompasses 39 high-confidence genes. Through transcriptomic analysis and functional gene investigation, TraesCS1B03G1126300 was identified as the candidate gene, encoding an auxin-responsive protein of the auxin/indole-3-acetic acid family. Our findings provide the foundation for map-based cloning of Taot2, a novel wheat tiller gene, and offer valuable insights into wheat tiller bud initiation.
