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

CpG island methylation results in the silencing of the associated gene and is an important step in tumorigenesis. Following a comprehensive isolation of CpG islands that were methylated in human lung adenocarcinoma, we found that in cancer cells de novo CpG island methylation generally occurred in a sporadic manner. However, some methylated CpG islands appeared to cluster in discrete chromosomal regions. In this study, we have investigated the methylation status of CpG islands located at such chromosomal loci. We have found that many CpG islands at the HOXA and HOXD loci were methylated in human lung adenocarcinoma. The de novo methylation of these CpG islands was also observed in patient's DNA from noncancerous portions of lung tissue. These results indicate the presence of specific chromosomal regions that are susceptible to de novo methylation.
