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

Resistance to wheat powdery mildew is commonly mediated by individual resistance proteins, most of which encode nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat (NLR) receptors. Here we report that the powdery mildew resistance gene MLIW170/PM26 in wild emmer and bread wheat derivatives is determined by a genetically linked atypical NLR pair TdCNL1/TdCNL5. Map-based cloning and PacBio HiFi long-read sequencing revealed that TdCNL1 encodes an atypical coiled-coil-domain-containing NLR protein (CNL) fused with a new potassium-dependent sodium-calcium exchanger integrated domain, whereas TdCNL5 encodes a canonical CNL protein. Mutagenesis and virus-induced gene silencing experiments indicated that both TdCNL1 and TdCNL5 are essential for powdery mildew resistance. Transgenic plants with TdCNL1 alone or TdCNL1/TdCNL5 together show resistance, whereas Fielder with TdCNL5 alone was susceptible. Geographically, MLIW170/PM26 occurs in a few Southern populations of wild emmer wheat. Our study highlights an atypical NLR pair coordinately regulating powdery mildew resistance and provides a diversified resistance gene resource for wheat improvement.
