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

Rising temperatures globally impose coupled proteotoxic and oxidative stresses that limit spring wheat (Triticum aestivum) productivity, yet how protein quality control, redox homeostasis, and peroxisome dynamics are coordinately regulated during thermotolerance remains unclear. Here, we investigated the integrated roles of heat shock proteins (HSPs), antioxidant defenses, and peroxisome biogenesis in two contrasting wheat genotypes differing in heat stress tolerance at anthesis: Misr2 (tolerant) and Line4 (susceptible). Heat responses were characterized by osmoprotectant accumulation (total soluble sugars, proline), oxidative stress markers (malondialdehyde, hydrogen peroxide), antioxidant enzyme activities (CAT, SOD, POX), peroxisome abundance, and expression of stress-responsive genes. Integrated phenotype-gene association analyses distinguished thermotolerant and susceptible responses in Misr2 and Line4 by resolving coordinated regulatory modules. Expression profiles of eight candidate genes (TaHSP70, TaHSP90, TaSOD, TaCAT1, TaPEX11.3, TaPEX11.4, TaFIS1A, and TaDRP5B), analyzed in conjunction with phenotypic traits, revealed modular gene networks linking antioxidant defenses, HSP-mediated proteostasis, and peroxisome proliferation. TaHSP70, TaPEX11.4, and TaCAT1 functioned as regulatory hubs, TaDRP5B and TaSOD as phenotypic switch nodes, and TaPEX11.3, TaFIS1A, and TaHSP90 as context-dependent responders. Together, these findings uncover modular crosstalk among heat-stress pathways that underpin wheat thermotolerance, providing molecular targets for breeding heat-resilient cultivars under climate change.
