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

DNA methylation regulates key biological processes in plants. In this study, kenaf seedlings were pretreated with the DNA methylation inhibitor 5-azacytidine (5-azaC) (at concentrations of 0, 100, 200, 400, and 600 μM), and the results showed that pretreatment with 200 μM 5-azaC promoted flowering most effectively. To elucidate the underlying mechanism, phytohormone, adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and starch contents were determined, and genome-wide DNA methylation and transcriptome analyses were performed on anthers pretreated with 200 μM 5-azaC (5-azaC200) or with no 5-azaC (control conditions; 5-azaC0). Biochemical analysis revealed that 5-azaC pretreatment significantly reduced indoleacetic acid (IAA) and gibberellic acid (GA) contents and significantly increased abscisic acid (ABA) and ATP contents. The starch contents significantly increased in response to 200 and 600 μM 5-azaC. Further genome-wide DNA methylation analysis revealed 451 differentially methylated genes (DMGs) with 209 up- and 242 downregulated genes. Transcriptome analysis showed 3,986 differentially expressed genes (DEGs), with 2,171 up- and 1,815 downregulated genes. Integrated genome-wide DNA methylation and transcriptome analyses revealed 72 genes that were both differentially methylated and differentially expressed. These genes, which included
