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
Transposable elements are major components of plant genomes. Their activity seems to be epigenetically regulated by gene silencing systems. Here we report epigenetic variation in the retrotransposon Tos17 activity in rice varieties. Of the two copies of Tos17 present in chromosome 7 (Tos17 (chr.7)) and chromosome 10 (Tos17 (chr.10)), Tos17 (chr.7) is strongly activated by tissue culture in most varieties including Nipponbare except for Moritawase, despite the identity of the DNA sequences in Moritawase and Nipponbare. Tos17 (chr.7) activity correlated with its methylation status, and Tos17 (chr.7 )in Moritawase was heavily methylated and activated by treatment of 5-azacytidine (5-azaC), a DNA methylation inhibitor. Although the original copies of Tos17 are methylated to some extent in all varieties examined, the transposed copies in calli mostly are not methylated. When plants were regenerated from calli, the degree of methylation of the Tos17 DNA increased gradually with the growth of plants, and a significant progress of DNA methylation occurred in the next generation after a completed reproductive cycle. With increasing DNA methylation, the transcription of transposed and original Tos17 copies driven by its own as well as by a flanking gene promoter were suppressed. We conclude that Tos17 DNA methylation controls the transpositional activity of Tos17, and modulates the activity of neighboring genes. Based on the analysis of the inactive Tos17 (chr.10), we propose that another mechanism, called transcriptional interference, is involved in the control of Tos17 activity.
