The MethDet: a technology for biomarker development.
Article in Expert review of molecular diagnostics, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
Early detection and diagnosis of a disease in its presymptomatic form has to rely on biomarkers, and multiple laboratories are involved in their development and validation. In this article, we describe our work on a platform technology for a genome-wide analysis of DNA methylation while still using a small amount of sample - a biopsy, a section from a formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue or a small volume (0.4 ml) of plasma from blood. This technology (methylation detection or MethDet) allows genome-wide association studies similar to the analysis of single-nucleotide polymorphisms. Instead of mostly static genetic differences, the MethDet technology tests disease-dependent changes of epigenetic makeup, which is closely related to the gene expression pattern of a disease. The MethDet assay has the capacity to utilize highly fragmented DNA (e.g., cell-free circulating DNA from plasma) to identify disease-specific changes, effects of treatment or changes in the disease activity.
