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

MAIN

conclusionSomatic embryogenesis triggers epigenetic changes that influence catechin accumulation in lingonberry, helping to improve phytochemical quality in micropropagated plants. Vaccinium vitis-idaea L. (lingonberry), a boreal superfruit valued for its high antioxidant content, exhibits high potential for regeneration via somatic embryogenesis (SE). However, in-vitro culture often induces epigenetic variations that can influence phytochemical stability. To find out whether DNA methylation plays a role during SE, we compared DNA methylation levels in the regenerants of two lingonberry genotypes, Erntedank (Cv1) and a hybrid designated as "H1" (identity undisclosed). We demonstrate that SE in lingonberries induces epigenetic modifications, particularly epigenetic memory and biological imprinting that contribute to enhanced catechin accumulation, as revealed by highly sensitive DNA methylation profiling using ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) and catechin analysis via proton nuclear magnetic resonance (
