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 messageA novel QTL on chromosome 11 with 7 candidate genes regulating nematode resistance was identified by RNA-seq-based transcriptome and BSA-seq combination analyses, revealing the possible interactions between nematodes and plants. The resistant rice germplasms against Meloidogyne graminicola, which is a plant-parasitic nematode posing a significant threat to rice production, are very limited. Here, we identified HuaHang31 (HH31), an indica rice variety, as a novel source of high resistance against to M. graminicola through large-scale screening of 297 rice accessions using PF-127 assays. Histopathological and histochemical analyses revealed that HH31 significantly reduced nematode penetration, delayed juvenile development, and triggered reactive oxygen species accumulation and hypersensitive response in root tip cells post-infection. RNA-seq-based transcriptome profiling of HH31 and susceptible IR64 roots at 3-, 7-, and 12-days post-inoculation (dpi) highlighted the up-regulation of phenylpropanoid, flavonoid, lignin biosynthesis, and phytohormone signaling pathways (jasmonic acid, salicylic acid, ethylene) in HH31, suggesting their pivotal roles in nematode resistance. Additionally, bulk segregant analysis of two F₂ populations derived from HH31 crosses with susceptible varieties mapped a novel quantitative trait locus (QTL) on chromosome 11 (4.7-8.2 Mb). Within this region, seven nonsynonymous nucleotide-binding site-leucine-rich repeat genes exhibited root-specific expression and responsiveness to nematode infection, implicating their roles in resistance. Importantly, this QTL represents a distinct genomic region compared to previously reported resistance loci, highlighting its novelty. This study provides a new understanding of the genetic basis of nematode resistance and a valuable source for the development of nematode-resistant rice varieties, offering a sustainable strategy to mitigate yield losses caused by this pervasive pathogen.
