Arabidopsis shoot stem cells display dynamic transcription and DNA methylation patterns.
Article in The EMBO journal, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 48 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
In plants, aerial organs originate continuously from stem cells in the center of the shoot apical meristem. Descendants of stem cells in the subepidermal layer are progenitors of germ cells, giving rise to male and female gametes. In these cells, mutations, including insertions of transposable elements or viruses, must be avoided to preserve genome integrity across generations. To investigate the molecular characteristics of stem cells in Arabidopsis, we isolated their nuclei and analyzed stage-specific gene expression and DNA methylation in plants of different ages. Stem cell expression signatures are largely defined by developmental stage but include a core set of stem cell-specific genes, among which are genes implicated in epigenetic silencing. Transiently increased expression of transposable elements in meristems prior to flower induction correlates with increasing CHG methylation during development and decreased CHH methylation, before stem cells enter the reproductive lineage. These results suggest that epigenetic reprogramming may occur at an early stage in this lineage and could contribute to genome protection in stem cells during germline development.
