The ghosts in the machine: DNA methylation and the mystery of differentiation.
Review in Biochimica et biophysica acta, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Methylation regulates DNA by altering chromatin and limiting accessibility of transcription factors and RNA polymerase. In this way, DNA methylation controls gene expression and plays a role in ES cell regulation, tissue differentiation and the development of the organism. In abnormal circumstances methylation can also induce diseases and promote cancer progression. Chromatin remodeling proteins such as the SNF2 family member Lsh regulates genome-wide cytosine methylation patterns during mammalian development. Lsh promotes methylation by targeting and repressing repeat sequences that are imbedded in heterochromatin. Lsh also regulates cytosine methylation at unique loci. Alterations in histone modifications (such as H3K4me3, histone acetylation, H3K27me3 and H2Aub) can be associated with DNA methylation changes making Lsh-mediated cytosine methylation part of a larger epigenetic network defining gene expression and cellular differentiation during development. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: Chromatin in time and space.
