Molecular Mechanisms Underlying the Establishment, Maintenance, and Removal of DNA Methylation in Plants.
Review in Annual review of plant biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
Methylation at the fifth position of the cytosine base (5mC) is a critical DNA modification with important functions in gene silencing, genome imprinting, and suppression of transposable elements in eukaryotes. Biochemically, DNA methylation is dynamically regulated by three critical processes: the de novo establishment of DNA methylation, the maintenance of DNA methylation by preexisting methylation patterns, and the removal of DNA methylation. In plants, DNA methylation is very complex with unique features. In past decades, a series of biochemical and structural studies, especially empowered by the recent breakthroughs of high-resolution cryogenic electron microscopy, have helped uncover the molecular mechanisms underlying the establishment, maintenance, and removal of DNA methylation in plants. This review summarizes recent research advances in these three aspects of DNA methylation and lays out a molecular view of plant DNA methylation from biochemical and structural perspectives.
