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

The fruit is the most important economical organ in the grape; accordingly, to investigate the grapevine genomic methylation landscape and examine its functional significance during fruit development, we generated whole genome DNA methylation maps for various developmental stages in the fruit of grapevine. In this study, thirteen DNA methylation-related genes and their expression profiles were identified and analyzed. The methylation levels for mC, mCG, mCHG, and mCHH contexts in 65 days after flowering (65DAF) fruit (véraison stage) were higher than those in 40DAF (green stage) and 90DAF (mature stage) fruits. Relative to methylation in the mC context, methylation levels in the mCHH context were higher than those of mCG and mCHG. The DNA methylation level in the ncRNA regions was significantly higher than that in exon, gene, intron, and mRNA regions. The differentially methylated regions (DMRs) and differentially methylated promoters (DMPs) in 65DAF_vs_40DAF were both higher than those in 90DAF_vs_65DAF and 90DAF_vs_40DAF. Most DMRs (or DMPs) were involved in metabolic processes and cell processes, binding, and catalytic activity. These results indicated that DNA methylation represses gene expression during grape fruit development, and it broadens our understanding of the landscape and function of DNA methylation in grapevine genomes.
