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
Plant embryogenesis is a critical process characterized by extensive cellular differentiation and morphogenesis, regulated by complex epigenetic mechanisms. However, dynamic changes of DNA methylation during Arabidopsis early embryo development remain to be elucidated. In this study, Arabidopsis hybrid embryos from 2/4-cell to globular stage were subject to bisulfite sequencing and RNA-seq analysis. Our results revealed a local remodeling of DNA methylation during early embryogenesis, represented by a remarkable gain of CHH methylation and the progressive loss of CHG methylation. Genes with differential methylation were found to participate in cell division, morphogenesis, pattern specification and auxin signaling, indicating their potential role in embryo development. At globular stage, CHH hyper-methylation exhibited a notable association with TE repression. The divergences between allelic methylation primarily lied in CG context which increased with embryogenesis. CHH methylation variations between parental alleles underwent reprogramming. Our results implied a negative relevance between allele-specific expression and methylation at CHG sites in early embryos. This work provides new insights into DNA methylation remodeling and its association with transcriptional changes during Arabidopsis early embryogenesis, laying a foundation for future functional studies.
