Equal parental contribution to the transcriptome is not equal control of embryogenesis.
Article in Nature plants, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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 animals, early embryogenesis is maternally controlled, whereas in plants, parents contribute equally to the proembryo transcriptome. Thus, the question remains whether equivalent parental contribution to the transcriptome of the early proembryo means equal control of early embryogenesis. Here, on the basis of cell-lineage-specific and allele-specific transcriptome analysis, we reveal that paternal and maternal genomes contribute equally to the transcriptomes of both the apical cell lineage and the basal cell lineage of early proembryos. However, a strong maternal effect on basal cell lineage development was found, indicating that equal parental contribution to the transcriptome is not necessarily coupled with equivalent parental control of proembryonic development. Parental contributions to embryogenesis therefore cannot be concluded solely on the basis of the ratio of paternal/maternal transcripts. Furthermore, we demonstrate that parent-of-origin genes display developmental-stage-dependent and cell-lineage-dependent allelic expression patterns. These findings will facilitate the investigation of specific parental roles in specific processes of early embryogenesis.
