Retrograde signals control dynamic changes to the chromatin state at photosynthesis-associated loci.
Article in Nature communications, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Retrograde signalling networks originating in the organelles dictate nuclear gene expression and are essential for control and regulation of cellular energy metabolism. We investigate whether such plastid retrograde signals control nuclear gene expression by altering the chromatin state during the establishment of photosynthetic function in response to light. An Arabidopsis thaliana cell culture provides the required temporal resolution to map four histone modifications during the greening process. We uncover sequential and distinct epigenetic reprogramming events where an epigenetic switch from a histone methylation to an acetylation at photosynthesis-associated loci is dependent on a plastid retrograde signal. The transcription factors VIVIPAROUS1/ABI3-LIKE (VAL1), RELATIVE OF EARLY FLOWERING 6 (REF6) and GOLDEN2-LIKE FACTOR1/2 (GLKs) are linked to the H3K27ac deposition at photosynthesis associated loci that precedes full activation of the photosynthesis genes. Our work demonstrates that retrograde signals play a role in the epigenetic reprogramming essential to the establishment of photosynthesis in plant cells.
