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

backgroundDe novo DNA methylation triggered by short interfering RNAs is called RNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM). Transcriptional gene silencing (TGS) through RdDM can be induced using a viral vector. We have previously induced RdDM on the 35S promoter in the green fluorescent protein (GFP)-expressing Nicotiana benthamiana line 16c using the cucumber mosaic virus vector. The GFP fluorescence phenotype segregated into two types, "red" and "orange" in the first self-fertilized (S

resultsIn bisulfite sequencing analyses, we found a significant difference in the overall promoter hypermethylation pattern between the red and orange types in S

conclusionsWe found two distinct phenotypes, the stable and unstable TGS in the progenies of virus-induced TGS plants. Our bisulfite sequencing analyses suggested that methylation at some specific cytosine residues in the 35S promoter played a role in determining whether stable or unstable TGSs are induced. Using the developed method, we inferred that DNA methylation heterogeneity in and between the plus- and minus-strands can differentially determine TGS.
