Carbon dioxide does not affect the methylation status of prognostic important oncogenes Rassf1A and DCR2 in neuroblastoma cells.

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
purposeThe aim of the current study was to investigate effects of CO(2) atmosphere, mimicking conditions of the pneumoperitoneum during laparoscopy, on epigenetic conditions of Rassf1A and DCR2 oncogenes in neuroblastoma cells.
methodsSH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells were exposed to 100% CO(2) for 4 h. Cells were lysed 4, 8 and 168 h after exposure. After methylation analysis of Rassf1A and DCR2 with polymerase chain reaction, results were compared to those of physiologically incubated neuroblastoma cells.
resultsNo significant changes were found after exposure to carbon dioxide compared to the control. Values of methylated Rassf1A were 12.6 +/- 1.1 versus 13.2 +/- 1.4 ng/microl in the controls, respectively (4 h after incubation), 12.6 +/- 1.2 versus 15.1 +/- 0.9 ng/microl (8 h) and 14.2 +/- 1.5 versus 11.7 +/- 1.3 ng/microl (168 h). DCR2 showed values of 4.6 +/- 0.5 versus 3.7 +/- 0.5 ng/microl (4 h), 3.8 +/- 0.5 versus 4.1 +/- 0.4 ng/microl (8 h) and 3.6 +/- 0.4 versus 3.8 +/- 0.5 ng/microl (168 h).
conclusionExposure of neuroblastoma cells to 100% CO(2) does not alter methylation of two prognostic relevant index genes. It seems therefore unlikely that effects on methylation levels within CO(2) pneumoperitoneum lead to epigenetic changes in neuroblastoma.
