Exogenous 24nt siRNAs induce AGO4A-dependent silencing via promoter DNA methylation and H3K9me2 deposition.

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
Transcriptional Gene Silencing (TGS) is an essential process in plants for development, gene regulation, defense against viruses, and genome integrity. TGS is predominantly established by RNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM), a self-reinforcing mechanism in which sRNAs guide transcriptional suppressors to target genomic loci by sequence complementarity, and methylated DNA in turn facilitates sRNA genesis. Recently, exogenous application of promoter targeting long dsRNAs was associated with promoter methylation without any detectable gene silencing. A plethora of sRNAs of different sizes and types form as cleavage products of precursor dsRNAs such as pre-miRNAs, inverted-repeats, viral replication intermediates, or exogenous dsRNAs. Due to the complexity of sRNA products, the features of the sRNAs, which trigger
