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

The cloning of disease resistance genes in wheat has been disproportionately slow, tedious and costly because of the large and complex genome. Wheat gene cloning projects in the late 1990s and early 2000s were multi-year endeavors, often spanning a decade or longer. The development of genomics-assisted gene cloning tools and speed breeding have significantly accelerated gene cloning in wheat over the past years. Here, we present an optimized high-throughput disease resistance gene cloning workflow that allows to identify causal genes in less than six months. As a proof-of-principle, we clone the stem rust resistance gene Sr6, which has been a historically relevant source of resistance to confine a major stem rust outbreak in North America in the mid-20
