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

A body of evidence accumulated over the past decade suggests that epigenetic mechanisms play an essential role in maintaining important cellular functions. Changes in epigenetic patterns (mainly DNA hyper- and hypomethylation and, more recently, histone modifications) may contribute to the development of cancer. Aberrant epigenetic events expand thorough tumor progression from the earliest to latest stages, therefore they can serve as convenient markers for detection and prognosis of cancer. The potential reversibility of epigenetic states in the tumor cell is an attractive target for cancer therapy. Much of our current knowledge on epigenetic alternations in cancer comes from studies on gastrointestinal malignancies, mainly on colorectal cancer, which currently serves as a model for epigenetic tumorigenesis. This review summarizes the current knowledge of epigenetic changes in gastrointestinal cancers and how this relates directly to disease progression and prognosis.
