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

Pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan L. Huth) is an agronomically important legume cultivated worldwide. In this study, we extensively analyzed gene-body methylation (GbM) patterns in pigeonpea. We found a bimodal distribution of CG and CHG methylation patterns. GbM features- slow evolution rate and increased length remained conserved. Genes with moderate CG body methylation showed highest expression where as highly-methylated genes showed lowest expression. Transposable element (TE)-related genes were methylated in multiple contexts and hence classified as C-methylated genes. A low expression among C-methylated genes was associated with transposons insertion in gene-body and upstream regulatory regions. The CG methylation patterns were found to be conserved in orthologs compared with non-CG methylation. By comparing methylation patterns between differentially methylated regions (DMRs) of the three genotypes, we found that variably methylated marks are less likely to target evolutionary conserved sequences. Finally, our analysis showed enrichment of nitrogen-related genes in GbM orthologs of legumes, which could be promising candidates for generating epialleles for crop improvement.
