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

Polyploidy or whole genome duplication (WGD) is a prominent feature for genome evolution of some animals and all flowering plants, including many important crops such as wheat, cotton, and canola. In autopolyploids, genome duplication often perturbs dosage regulation on biological networks. In allopolyploids, interspecific hybridization could induce genetic and epigenetic changes, the effects of which could be amplified by genome doubling (ploidy changes). Albeit the importance of genetic changes, some epigenetic changes can be stabilized and transmitted as epialleles into the progeny, which are subject to natural selection, adaptation, and domestication. Here we review recent advances for general and specific roles of epigenetic changes in the evolution of flowering plants and domestication of agricultural crops.
