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

Bread wheat (Triticum aestivum), a cornerstone of global food security contributing ~ 20% of daily caloric intake, faces increasing vulnerability to rapidly evolving pathogens. This is due in part to a narrowed genetic base following domestication and modern breeding. Wild and ancestral wheat relatives are critical reservoirs of disease resistance genes for breeding new, resilient varieties. This review explores the contributions of primary, secondary, and tertiary genepools of wheat to disease resistance, highlighting loci effective against fungal pathogens that threaten European wheat production. It examines the challenges of alien gene transfer including crossability barriers, hybrid necrosis, and suppressor loci and reviews modern breeding tools such as marker-assisted selection, genomic selection, and genome editing for harnessing exotic germplasm. By synthesising current knowledge, this review highlights the vital contribution of ancestral wheat germplasm in enhancing the resilience and productivity of future wheat crops against increasing biotic stresses.
