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 messageFav-Ps2.1 is the first major QTL reported for Fusarium avenaceum resistance in pea and co-localizes with Mendel's A gene and putative resistance genes. A novel moderate-effect QTL Fav-Ps5.1 and one epistatic locus, independent of the A gene, were also reported. Flavonoid compounds associated with resistance to this pathogen were identified. Fusarium avenaceum, a necrotrophic soil-borne pathogen, is a member of the root rot pathogen complex posing a major threat to pea yield and quality worldwide. Strong resistance to Fusarium root rot (FRR) in pea is associated with seed coat and flower pigmentation, controlled by Mendel's A locus regulating anthocyanin biosynthesis. It is not clear whether the A locus is acting alongside resistance genes to confer high levels of resistance or whether alternative genetic pathways exist in pea cultivars. In this study, a pea recombinant inbred line population of 160 lines called PR-20 (AA×aa), polyphenolic profiles, and the pea reference genome were leveraged to understand the genetic control of Fusarium avenaceum resistance. Two novel quantitative trait loci (QTLs) including a major QTL Fav-Ps2.1 (41-42.2 cM) on chromosome 6 with 95% phenotypic variance explained (PVE), a moderate-effect QTL Fav-Ps5.1 (126-134 cM) on chromosome 3 with 9% PVE, and a putative epistatic interaction with 15% PVE, associated with resistance to F. avenaceum were identified. Both the epistatic region and Fav-Ps5.1 are anthocyanin pigment-independent. Fav-Ps5.1 is co-localized with many defense-response and flavonoid-related genes including NDR1/HIN1-like protein, WDR, MYB111, WRKY, Chitinase, PAL1, F-box/LRR-repeat protein, E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase PUB22, ABC transporters, and probable ethylene response sensor 1. Fav-Ps2.1 is co-localized with 35 disease resistance-related genes and overlaps with the A locus, which may explain the high PVE. A 'pea tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) resistance N-like protein' gene, encoding TIR-LRR domains, marks the peak of Fav-Ps2.1 at ~ 0.12 cM upstream of the A locus. Regression analysis with whole seed polyphenolic compounds in randomly selected 14 PR-20 lines including the parents showed that some colorless flavonoids (anthocyanin precursors), encoded by genes other than A, explained more variation in disease resistance (R
