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

DNA methylation is a major epigenetic mark on chromatin. Tissue-specific DNA methylation in the regulatory regions of key genes modulates their tissue-specific expression. To study DNA methylation levels at specific sequence contexts across tissues or during various environmental conditions, whole-genome DNA methylation analysis is widely used. However, whole-genome methylation analysis is an expensive, time-consuming technique and requires specific skills. To understand the role of DNA methylation in a small number of candidate loci, targeted bisulfite (BS) PCR-sequencing analysis is an attractive option. Here, we describe a detailed method to understand DNA methylation by targeted-BS PCR analysis using rice endosperm tissues. This method can be readily extended to multiple monocots, across various tissues and various stress conditions.
