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 yield mainly depends on thousand-grain weight, spike number per unit, and grain number per spike. Since fertility is directly related to seed setting rate and grain number, the discovery of novel genes and alleles affecting male or female sterility is essential for advancing the genetic understanding of wheat fertility. Here we identified a wheat mutant on anther-stigma development (asd), exhibiting both male and female sterility with thin shriveled non-dehiscent anthers that failed to release pollen, as well as visorless stigmas. Cytological examination of asd showed a lack of cutin polymer on anther surfaces and extensive microspore mother cell degeneration leading to pollen deficiency. Using MutMap
