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

Microgametogenesis in angiosperms results in two structurally and functionally different cells, one generative cell, which subsequently forms the sperm cells, and the vegetative cell. We analysed the chromatin properties of both types of nuclei after first and second pollen mitosis in rye (Secale cereale). The condensed chromatin of generative nuclei is earmarked by an enhanced level of histone H3K4/K9 dimethylation and H3K9 acetylation. The less condensed vegetative nuclei are RNA polymerase II positive. Trimethylation of H3K27 is not involved in transcriptional downregulation of genes located in generative nuclei as H3K27me3 was exclusively detected in the vegetative nuclei. The global level of DNA methylation does not differ between both types of pollen nuclei. In rye, unlike in Arabidopsis thaliana (Ingouff et al. Curr Biol 17:1032-1037 2007; Schoft et al. EMBO Rep 10:1015-1021 2009), centromeric histone H3 is not excluded from the chromatin of the vegetative nucleus and the condensation degree of centromeric and subtelomeric regions did not differ between the generative and vegetative nuclei. Differences between rye and A. thaliana data suggest that the chromatin organization in mature nuclei of pollen grains is not universal across angiosperms.
