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

Pollen represents the male sexual lineage in flowering plants. At maturity, pollen grains are composed of a companion vegetative cell with embedded sperm. During pollen development, these two cell types acquire vastly differing cell fates. Underlying this differential fate acquisition is dramatic reconfiguration of pollen chromatin that is highly evident at a cytological level. The precise link between histone mark deposition and fate acquisition remains largely unexplored, which in part has been hindered by the difficulty in working with pollen in model plant species like Arabidopsis. Here, we describe a simple and robust protocol to isolate Arabidopsis pollen nuclei and immunostain for histone marks. Plant growth aside, the protocol can be performed over 2 days with few Arabidopsis plants, thus allowing multiple genotypes to be analysed in parallel. We also describe a method to de-mask epitopes through antigen retrieval, which vastly improves the signal for antibodies that target heterochromatic histone marks.
