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

backgroundGrain number per spike (GNS) is a pivotal determinant of grain yield in wheat. Pubing 3228 (PB3228), a wheat-Agropyron cristatum germplasm, exhibits a notably higher GNS.

resultsIn this study, we developed a recombinant inbred line (RIL) population derived from PB3228/Gao8901 (PG-RIL) and constructed a high-density genetic map comprising 101,136 loci, spanning 4357.3 cM using the Wheat 660 K SNP array. The genetic map demonstrated high collinearity with the wheat assembly IWGSC RefSeq v1.0. Traits related to grain number and spikelet number per spike were evaluated in seven environments for quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis. Five environmentally stable QTLs were detected in at least three environments. Among these, two major QTLs, QGns-4A.2 and QGns-1A.1, associated with GNS, exhibited positive alleles contributed by PB3228. Further, the conditional QTL analysis revealed a predominant contribution of PB3228 to the GNS QTLs, with both grain number per spikelet (GNSL) and spikelet number per spike (SNS) contributing to the overall GNS trait. Four kompetitive allele-specific PCR (KASP) markers that linked to QGns-4A.2 and QGns-1A.1 were developed and found to be effective in verifying the QTL effect within a diversity panel. Compared to previous studies, QGns-4A.2 exhibited stability across different trials, while QGns-1A.1 represents a novel QTL. The results from unconditional and conditional QTL analyses are valuable for dissecting the genetic contribution of the component traits to GNS at the individual QTL level and for understanding the genetic basis of the superior grain number character in PB3228. The KASP markers can be utilized in marker-assisted selection for enhancing GNS.

conclusionsFive environmentally stable QTLs related to grain number and spikelet number per spike were identified. PB3228 contributed to the majority of the QTLs associated with GNS.
