Seasonal timing in a changing world: the epigenetic link between environment and reproduction across taxa.
Article in Environmental epigenetics, 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
All plants and animals must time their annual reproduction to seasonal variation in resources to optimize reproductive fitness. Environmental factors such as photoperiod and temperature are well known to influence seasonal timing of reproduction but how organisms incorporate environmental cues to alter physiological responses and initiate reproduction remains poorly characterized at the genetic level. A growing number of studies have found that epigenetic mechanisms, such as noncoding RNA, histone modification, and DNA methylation, can have an important role in modifying transcriptional regulation of traits related to seasonal timing. While epigenetic modifications act differently across taxa, there is consistent evidence for their involvement in the timing of seasonal life-history transitions. Here, we discuss the way in which environmental cues trigger epigenetic modifications and propose several roles for their involvement in the regulation of seasonal phenotypes in plants, invertebrates, and vertebrates.
