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

Wild emmer wheat (Triticum turgidum ssp. dicoccoides, BBAA), the wild progenitor of cultivated tetraploid and hexaploid wheats, provides an important reference for investigating centromere reorganization during polyploidization and domestication. Here we generated a near-complete genome assembly of wild emmer wheat, including centromeric regions for all 14 centromeres. Comparative analyses with cultivated tetraploid and hexaploid wheats revealed extensive variation in centromere-associated sequences and centromere-proximal structure, as well as distinct subgenome-associated patterns in the A and B subgenomes. The A subgenome was characterized by positional shifts and sequence turnover of CRW-rich centromere-derived blocks, whereas the B subgenome showed reduced CentT566 satellite abundance accompanied by localized retention or expansion on specific chromosomes. These results provide a high-resolution tetraploid wheat reference and reveal subgenome-associated patterns of centromere remodeling during wheat polyploid evolution.
