Uncovering the Epigenetic Marks Involved in Mediating Salt Stress Tolerance in Plants.
Review in Frontiers in genetics, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 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
The toxic effects of salinity on agricultural productivity necessitate development of salt stress tolerance in food crops in order to meet the escalating demands. Plants use sophisticated epigenetic systems to fine-tune their responses to environmental cues. Epigenetics is the study of heritable, covalent modifications of DNA and histone proteins that regulate gene expression without altering the underlying nucleotide sequence and consequently modify the phenotype. Epigenetic processes such as covalent changes in DNA, histone modification, histone variants, and certain non-coding RNAs (ncRNA) influence chromatin architecture to regulate its accessibility to the transcriptional machinery. Under salt stress conditions, there is a high frequency of hypermethylation at promoter located CpG sites. Salt stress results in the accumulation of active histones marks like H3K9K14Ac and H3K4me3 and the downfall of repressive histone marks such as H3K9me2 and H3K27me3 on salt-tolerance genes. Similarly, the H2A.Z variant of H2A histone is reported to be down regulated under salt stress conditions. A thorough understanding of the plasticity provided by epigenetic regulation enables a modern approach to genetic modification of salt-resistant cultivars. In this review, we summarize recent developments in understanding the epigenetic mechanisms, particularly those that may play a governing role in the designing of climate smart crops in response to salt stress.
