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

Cold episodes during early crop development threaten cereal establishment and yield, but it remains unclear whether ancestral cold exposure can generate measurable inherited resilience in barley. We tested this question in a three-generation field experiment using 138 barley accessions and eight third-generation lineage-treatment combinations that separated no-memory, transgenerational, intergenerational and repeated cold-memory classes under control and recurrent cold-stress conditions. Cold stress was imposed by delayed sowing, and establishment, physiological, biochemical, growth, reproductive and yield traits were integrated with standardized cold-memory indices and genome-wide association mapping. Under third-generation cold stress, memory-conditioned lineages outperformed the no-memory cold-stressed lineage for several key traits: germination increased from 79.0% to 83.5-86.6%, seedling survival from 68.0% to 77.7-85.5%, electrolyte leakage declined from 51.5% to 42.1-34.3%, and grain yield per plant increased from 4.27 g to 5.04-5.75 g. The integrated cold resilience index also increased from 38.9 in the no-memory cold-stressed lineage to 49.8, 54.5 and 58.9 in the transgenerational, intergenerational and repeated-memory lineages, respectively. Trait-specific indices confirmed a consistent response hierarchy, with grain-yield memory reaching 26.3%, 36.7% and 44.0% in the same three memory classes. Correlation analysis resolved a stress-protection module centred on membrane stability, oxidative-damage protection and survival, and a productivity module centred on grain-yield memory, reproductive yield and benefit-cost ratio. GWAS using 17,894 quality-filtered SNPs detected 137 significant marker-index-memory associations, including major loci for germination memory on 5H (- log
