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

Clubroot, a severe soil-borne disease caused by Plasmodiophora brassicae, poses a severe threat to global production of Brassicaceae oilseed crops and vegetables. To date, there has been a serious lack of clubroot-resistant germplasms in Brassica napus (AACC), necessitating the urgent development of novel disease-resistant germplasm. We present a high-quality genome assembly of an artificially synthesised allotetraploid Raphanobrassica (RRCC), which exhibits broad-spectrum immunity to diverse P. brassicae pathotypes. Using a sesquidiploid RACC as a genetic bridge, we developed B. napus-R. sativus (AACC-R) monosomic addition lines and mapped a major clubroot resistance (CR) locus on chromosome R5. Comparative genomic analysis identified 30 candidate CR genes in this region. Notably, overexpression of CRR5.5.11, which encodes a receptor-like protein, via hairy root transformation conferred significant resistance in susceptible B. napus. Evolutionary and functional analyses revealed conserved homologues of CRR5.5.11 in diploid Isatis tinctoria and triploid turnip ECD04. Furthermore, the ECD04 allele CRA3.2.2 also conferred clubroot resistance, indicating that CRR5.5.11 and CRA3.2.2 have originated from the same diploid ancestor. Our study elucidates the genetic and evolutionary basis of clubroot resistance in Raphanobrassica, providing novel germplasm, gene resources and theoretical insights for clubroot-resistance breeding in rapeseed and other Brassicaceae crops.
