Review in Neuro-degenerative diseases, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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 advent of high-content genomic mapping technologies has provided numerous clues about the genetic architecture of complex disease and the tools with which to understand the biological framework resulting from this architecture. We believe that understanding and mapping epigenetic marks, in particular DNA methylation, which is suited to such assays, offers a timely opportunity in this context. Here, we make an argument for this work, describing this opportunity, the likely path ahead, and the problems and pitfalls associated with such work.
