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

Drought is a critical challenge to wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) productivity. The quantitative complexity of drought tolerance makes breeding for this trait difficult. Developing near-isogenic lines (NILs) targeting quantitative trait locus (QTL) for 1000-grain weight (TGW) under drought stress can effectively identify key mechanisms and genes. Using the heterogeneous inbred family method and a fast-generation cycling system, we developed wheat NILs targeting TGW QTL on chromosome 3B and characterized them under drought and well-watered conditions. Genotyping the NILs using 90K single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array, we narrowed down the targeted QTL region and identified four SNP markers near the target QTL linked with six candidate genes. These candidate genes encode beta-glucuronosyltransferase, ABC transporter, transmembrane protein, F-box protein, cytochrome P450, and alanine-tRNA ligase associated with functions related to responses under drought stress. In silico expression analysis revealed that all these candidate genes were highly expressed in root and grain tissues under drought stress and involved in pathways such as ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis, metabolic pathways and biosynthesis of various N-glycan, steroids, and secondary metabolites emphasizing its potential role affecting grain weight under drought stress. This study offers insights into markers and genes controlling TGW under drought and has potential for advancing the development of high-yielding resilient wheat cultivars.
