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

CRISPR/Cas9-mediated editing generated TaBAHD single, double, and triple mutant lines. These mutants maintained similar plant height, spike length, and grain length compared with wild-type (WT) plants. Total starch and amylose contents decreased in the mutant grains. Triple mutants exhibited an 8.04% reduction in total starch and a 2.17% reduction in amylose. Starch granules showed increased solubility in 3 M urea. This change suggests lower structural stability. Slowly digestible starch (SDS) proportions increased in the mutants. Resistant starch (RS) levels decreased. Grain protein content increased by 1.19% in triple mutants. Transcriptome analysis at 21 days after anthesis (DAA) showed expression changes in biosynthetic pathways. Starch biosynthesis genes including AGPase, GBSSI, SS, and SBE were downregulated. Storage protein genes such as HMW-GS, α-gliadin, and γ-gliadin were upregulated. These expression patterns align with the observed starch and protein phenotypes. Our findings demonstrate that TaBAHD coordinately governs the starch and protein metabolic pathways in wheat grains, thereby repartitioning metabolic fluxes and shifting the carbon-nitrogen balance. This study provides a valuable genetic resource and a theoretical framework for precision molecular breeding aimed at optimizing wheat grain quality, particularly for developing functional foods with enhanced nutritional value.
