Genomic imprinting and endosperm development in flowering plants.
Review in Molecular biotechnology, 2003. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 28 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
Genomic imprinting, the parent-of-origin-specific expression of genes, plays an important role in the seed development of flowering plants. As different sets of genes are imprinted and hence silenced in maternal and paternal gametophyte genomes, the contributions of the parental genomes to the offspring are not equal. Imbalance between paternally and maternally imprinted genes, for instance as a result of interploidy crosses, or in seeds in which imprinting has been manipulated, results in aberrant seed development. It is predominantly the endosperm, and not or to a far lesser extent the embryo, that is affected by such imbalance. Deviation from the normal 2m:1p ratio in the endosperm genome has a severe effect on endosperm development, and often leads to seed abortion. Molecular expression data for imprinted genes suggest that genomic imprinting takes place only in the endosperm of the developing seed. Although far from complete, a picture of how imprinting operates in flowering plants has begun to emerge. Imprinted genes on either the maternal or paternal side are marked and silenced in a process involving DNA methylation and chromatin condensation. In addition, on the maternal side, imprinted genes are most probably under control of the polycomb FIS genes.
