Multilayered epigenetic control of persistent and stage-specific imprinted genes in rice endosperm.
Article in Nature plants, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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 angiosperms, epigenetic profiles for genomic imprinting are established before fertilization. However, the causal relationships between epigenetic modifications and imprinted expression are not fully understood. In this study, we classified 'persistent' and 'stage-specific' imprinted genes on the basis of time-course transcriptome analysis in rice (Oryza sativa) endosperm and compared them to epigenetic modifications at a single time point. While the levels of epigenetic modifications are relatively low in stage-specific imprinted genes, they are considerably higher in persistent imprinted genes. Overall trends revealed that the maternal alleles of maternally expressed imprinted genes are activated by DNA demethylation, while the maternal alleles of paternally expressed imprinted genes with gene body methylation (gbM) are silenced by DNA demethylation and H3K27me3 deposition, and these regions are associated with an enriched motif related to Tc/Mar-Stowaway. Our findings provide insight into the stability of genomic imprinting and the potential variations associated with endosperm development, different cell types and parental genotypes.
