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

key messageTriple-color PLOP-FISH reveals agro-climate-associated variation in rDNA organization among globally diverse wheat cultivars, despite conserved chromosome number and 45S rDNA locus stability. Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is the world's most extensively cultivated crop, yet, its allohexaploid genome is highly complex and repetitive. Elucidating its chromosome-level genome organization is critical to understanding genome evolution and stability. In this study, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) was used to analyze 18 wheat cultivars collected from six continents, comparing their chromosomal composition and rDNA distribution. Three universal pre-labeled oligonucleotide probes (PLOPs) targeting 5S rDNA, 45S rDNA, and the Arabidopsis-type telomeric repeat were used for FISH. All cultivars consistently exhibited chromosome numbers of 2n = 6x = 42. Interestingly, the number of 5S rDNA loci varied between six and eight, whereas the 45S rDNA loci remained conserved at twelve. Intensity patterns of both 5S and 45S rDNA varied among cultivars across the three agro-climatic zones. However, cultivars originating from arid/semi-arid climatic zones exhibited the highest proportion of major signals for both loci. Telomeric repeat signals were observed at both chromosome ends across all cultivars, with no obvious differences in intensity. Additionally, the number of chromosomes with adjacent 5S-45S rDNA was either four or six, depending on the number of 5S rDNA loci. These results demonstrate intra-specific variation among wheat cultivars from different continents associated with agro-climatic conditions. These findings provide valuable insights for future research into wheat evolution and breeding.
