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

The recent discovery of 5-hydroxymethyl-cytosine (5 hmC) in embryonic stem cells and postmitotic neurons has triggered the need for quantitative measurements of both 5-methyl-cytosine (5 mC) and 5 hmC in the same sample. We have developed a method using liquid chromatography electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry with multiple reaction monitoring (LC-ESI-MS/MS-MRM) to simultaneously measure levels of 5 mC and 5 hmC in digested genomic DNA. This method is fast, robust, and accurate, and it is more sensitive than the current 5 hmC quantitation methods such as end labeling with thin layer chromatography and radiolabeling by glycosylation. Only 50 ng of digested genomic DNA is required to measure the presence of 0.1% 5 hmC in DNA from mouse embryonic stem cells. Using this procedure, we show that human induced pluripotent stem cells exhibit a dramatic increase in 5 mC and 5 hmC levels compared with parental fibroblast cells, suggesting a dynamic regulation of DNA methylation and hydroxymethylation during cellular reprogramming.
