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

backgroundDurum wheat is the raw material used to produce pasta, and its price is determined by grain physical characteristics, gluten strength and semolina yellowness. Gluten strength is mainly determined by high- and low-molecular-weight glutenin subunits (HMW-GS and LMW-GS). Semolina yellowness is determined by loci that control carotenoid content and lipoxygenase activity. Arabinoxylans are the major dietary fibre component within the durum wheat endosperm. Twelve durum wheat cultivars were grown in five locations over two cropping seasons. The objectives of this study were to determine the variability in the aforementioned traits; to assess the influence of genotype, environment and their interaction; and to determine the allelic variation of the main genes associated with gluten strength and semolina yellowness.

resultsGrain physical characteristics were mainly determined by the environment. However, the genotype exerted a strong influence on gluten strength, semolina yellowness and arabinoxylan content. There was wide variation in all traits, but arabinoxylan content was limited. For HMW-GS the most common alleles were Glu-A1c and Glu-B1b, while for LMW-GS they were GLU-A3a, GLU-B3a and GLU-B2a. Regarding carotenoid synthesis genes, Psy-A1l, Psy-B1o, Pds-B1b and TdZds-A1.1 were the most frequent alleles; while Lpx-A3 UC1113 and Lpx-B1.1a were predominant for lipoxygenase genes.

conclusionsAlthough the best alleles for gluten quality and yellow colour are present, they are not combined in a single cultivar, which limits the maximisation of overall quality. This study also highlights the importance of searching for arabinoxylan donors due to the limited genetic variability for this trait in commercial durum wheat cultivars. © 2025 The Author(s).
