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

Wheat aphids are among the most destructive pests of wheat, posing a serious threat to wheat production and global food security. The development of aphid-resistant wheat varieties is widely regarded as one of the most economical and sustainable strategies for aphid management. A comprehensive understanding of the plant defense mechanisms is fundamental to the breeding of resistant wheat germplasm. Recent studies have revealed that aphid salivary proteins play critical roles in manipulating host defenses, whereas wheat has evolved multiple layers of defense to perceive and respond to aphid attack. In this review, we summarize current advances in wheat-aphid interactions, focusing on the roles of aphid salivary effectors, aphid-induced immune signaling, physical and chemical defense barriers, herbivore-induced plant volatiles (HIPVs), resistance genes, and non-host resistance mechanisms. By integrating aphid effector biology with host immunity and resistance mechanisms, this review provides a conceptual framework for understanding wheat-aphid interactions and for developing durable and environmentally sustainable resistance strategies.
