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

Stripe rust, caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici, is a major threat to global wheat production. To explore new resistance resources, we screened 100 hexaploid triticale accessions using the predominant Chinese P. striiformis f. sp. tritici races CYR32, CYR33 and CYR34 and found that most accessions showed high resistance, with the cultivar Rozovskaya displaying near-immunity. Through map-based cloning, we identified a resistance gene located on chromosome 6RL. Analysis of resequencing data from 117 rye accessions revealed two major haplotypes, both of which conferred near-immunity and broadly effective resistance to stripe rust in transgenic wheat. Sequence analysis and virus-induced gene silencing collectively confirmed the identity of this gene as Yr83. Yr83 encodes an atypical nucleotide-binding and leucine-rich repeat protein (NLR) fused to a Harbinger transposase-derived nuclease domain (HTDND). Truncation of the HTDND abolishes resistance, indicating that this domain is essential for Yr83-mediated immune function. Phylogenetic analysis showed that NLR-HTDND proteins are restricted to the Pooideae subfamily. For breeding applications, we employed a small 6RL translocation line that shows excellent agronomic performance, not only conferring strong resistance but also increasing spikelet number and grain number per spike. Our study reveals a transposase-integrated NLR as a valuable resource for wheat stripe rust resistance breeding.
