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

Phenotypes of estuarine plants are influenced by salt stress experienced in both the current generation and by their parents, a phenomenon potentially regulated by DNA methylation. In clonal plants, DNA methylation information is effectively transmitted across generations, further influencing offspring phenotypes. However, the role of DNA methylation in clonal transgenerational plasticity and its heritable stability remains poorly understood across various genotypes of wild plants. To this end, we employed controlled genotype × environment interaction experiments to investigate phenotypic responses and DNA methylation in parental and offspring generations of
