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 messageLMWgs Finder developed by this study was used to re-identify the LMW-GS genes in a total of 26 genomes across the grass family and several important and novel findings were obtained. LMW-GS are one of the primary components of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) seed storage proteins, which have an important impact on wheat end-use quality traits. Identifying LMW-GS genes accurately within wheat genomes has consistently presented a significant challenge. LMWgsFinder developed by this study was used to re-identify the LMW-GS genes in a total of 26 genomes of the grass family. Apart from six species, a total of 291 LMW-GS genes were identified. Except for the two versions of the TaCS (Triticum aestivum Chinese Spring) genome, only 38.13% (98/257) of the LMW-GS genes identified by LMWgsFinder were annotated in the coding sequence annotation files (provided by the sequencing research groups) of the remaining 18 genomes. EnSpm-like transposon activity mediated recent duplication or triplication of the same LMW-GS gene has been observed in 8 wheat species for the first time, indicating that the replication of LMW-GS genes has been ongoing alongside the evolution of wheat. Several cases of rare structural variations associated with the loss or acquisition of LMW-GS gene function have been discovered and experimentally verified. Twenty-one new LMW-GS genes were discovered in 15 species of Triticeae. The results of this study provide the first empirical support at the DNA level, with confirmed chromosomal localization information, for the widely accepted notion that LMW-GS genes undergo gene duplication during wheat evolution. Additionally, this study offers gene sequence resources and a wealth of valuable information for further research on LMW-GS gene function, molecular-assisted selection, gene aggregation breeding, and molecular design breeding.
