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

Aphids are among the most common insect pests that reduce crop production worldwide. However, the breeding of aphid-resistant crops is currently hindered by the scarcity of resistance genes. This problem is particularly significant in sorghum, for which resistant cultivars are urgently needed to control the aphid Melanaphis sorghi (MES). Here, we report map-based cloning of RMES1A and RMES1B, which encode two atypical resistance proteins that confer strong defense against MES. Analysis of knockout mutants and natural variations demonstrated that RMES1A and RMES1B are both required for sorghum resistance against MES. Both genes are induced by MES feeding, specifically in sclerenchyma cells and vascular bundles. RMES1A/RMES1B interact with the sorghum aphid protein MsEF1 to form a functional complex in sorghum cells, leading to key defense responses such as the H
