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

Fusarium crown rot (FCR) is a hard-to-control wheat disease prevalent in arid and semi-arid regions. However, the relationship between arid conditions and FCR disease remains unclear. Here, we confirm that drought stress exacerbates the severity of FCR, and that FCR intensifies drought-induced damage. Integrated transcriptome analysis indicates that TaMPK3 gene exhibits distinctly opposite expression patterns under these two stress conditions. Functional identification verifies that TaMPK3 positively regulate FCR resistance while negatively influencing drought tolerance. Upon TaMPK3 gene knockout, the mutually reinforcing effect between drought and FCR is eliminated. TaMPK3 is found to modulate TaWRKY26 activity to regulate the expression of sterol synthesis gene clusters, thereby influencing FCR resistance. Within this cluster, the key gene TaCYP51H37 significantly enhances FCR resistance. Combined with our findings that TaMPK3 decreases drought tolerance through ABA signaling pathway, this study proposes a molecular model in which TaMPK3 mediates the synergistic damage caused by drought and FCR.
