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

Bean rust, caused by Uromyces appendiculatus, severely limits the productivity of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), an essential source of protein and micronutrients in human diets worldwide. Durable disease management relies primarily on host resistance; however, the molecular architecture of several key rust resistance loci remains unresolved. We sought to characterize the genomic structure of the Ur-3 and Ur-7 loci and develop associated molecular markers. An integrative genomic framework combining high-resolution long-read genome assemblies, recombinant inbred line populations, and single-nucleotide polymorphism-based and k-mer-based genome-wide association studies was used to fine-map both loci. Extensive structural variation was revealed for the Ur-3 locus at the distal end of chromosome Pv11, whereas Ur-7 localized to a low-recombination pericentromeric region of the same chromosome. A coiled-coil nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat gene embedded within an NB-ARC-rich cluster was identified as the most likely candidate underlying Ur-3 (Pv11: 50,205,868-50,209,452 bases; USDA Rattler reference). In contrast, the refined Ur-7 interval contained a toll/interleukin-1 receptor NLR gene as the leading candidate (Pv11: 36,604,755-36,611,252; UI 111 reference). Gene-based markers developed from these candidates showed complete correspondence with rust phenotypes. Marker-assisted selection for Ur-3 and Ur-7 will contribute to the development of durable rust resistance against the highly variable bean rust pathogen U. appendiculatus.
