Reprogramming the epigenome in Arabidopsis pollen.
Review in Cold Spring Harbor symposia on quantitative biology, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
Epigenetic reprogramming in Arabidopsis thaliana occurs in developing pollen. The male gametophyte is derived from haploid microspores via two postmeiotic cell divisions to give rise to the gametes (sperm cells, SC) and the vegetative cell (VC). The purification of individual cell types during pollen development coupled with genome-wide DNA methylation analysis and small RNA sequencing has revealed a dynamic regulation of the epigenome during gametogenesis. Interestingly, imprinted loci and previously identified variable epialleles are hypermethylated in the germline; however, their stability after fertilization appears to require targeted demethylation in the neighboring vegetative cell nucleus, possibly by releasing mobile small RNAs that reinforce transcriptional gene silencing and DNA methylation in the gametes. These results have led to a new model for the establishment and transgenerational maintenance of epigenetic marks in flowering plants.
