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

Epigenetic mechanisms may contribute to the pathogenesis of complex diseases. Early or late environmental influences such as intrauterine malnutrition or sedentary lifestyle have been shown to lead to an increased risk of diabetes. Recently, epigenetic mechanisms were shown to be involved in endocrine cell differentiation and islet function. Genomic profiling of pancreatic islets in non-diabetic and diabetic states is needed in order to dissect the contribution of epigenetic mechanisms to the declining proliferation potential of β cells that we see with aging or the β-cell failure observed in diabetes. In-depth understanding of epigenetic landscapes can help to improve protocols for in vitro differentiation towards the β-cell fate, enhance β-cell proliferation, and lead to the discovery of novel therapeutic targets.
