Plasticity of source-sink dynamics contributes to wheat yield stability.
Article in Nature communications, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
Crop grain yield is the outcome of complex interactions among multiple physiological processes governing source accumulation via photosynthesis followed by remobilization of assimilates into grain sinks. Throughout these interdependent processes and across all developmental stages, complex genotypes by environment by management interactions have a strong impact on source and sink strength and their dynamic interactions. Recent publications proposed a conceptual "wiring diagram" of physiological traits impacting wheat yield as a framework to link quantitative genetic networks with interaction models that can help explain, predict and improve yield stability in fluctuating environments. Here we compile large-scale datasets describing historical wheat breeding progress for source-related and sink-related traits to support this concept. Furthermore, further data delivers evidence that plasticity of wheat source-sink dynamics contributes to yield stability under stress, supporting potential roles for previously unexplored traits and their interactions to maintain future yield progress in the face of climatic challenges.
