DNA methylation at OsAmy3E promoter is involved in grain quality under heat stress in rice (Oryza sativa L.).
Article in Scientific reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
High-temperature stress during grain filling significantly reduces rice grain yield and quality. The heat-tolerant cultivar Kumasannochikara (Kuma) has a lower chalky-grain percentage and better grain quality under heat stress than the heat-sensitive Hinohikari (Hino), owing to repression of the α-amylase gene OsAmy3E during grain filling. Here, we propose that the expression of OsAmy3E during grain filling under heat stress is epigenetically regulated, as the promoter region of OsAmy3E in Kuma is highly methylated. In developing Kuma × Hino F1 seed, hypermethylation of the OsAmy3E promoter suppressed its expression. Screening of DNA methylation levels in F2 plants divided plants into non-methylated and methylated groups. Methylated plants of both Hino × Kuma and Kuma × Hino had repressed OsAmy3E gene expression and better grain quality under heat stress than non-methylated plants. These findings suggest that the suppression of α-amylase gene expression through epigenetic regulation could improve rice grain quality under heat stress.
