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

Many common genetic variants have been identified to be associated with autoimmune diseases such as Type I diabetes. Methods to identify these genetic loci have become powerful, but deciphering the functional effects of these variants in disease progression remains a major challenge. Recent studies have shown that single nucleotide polymorphisms are associated with altered DNA methylation and chromatin accessibility, suggesting that genetic variants can alter epigenetic features and epigenetic variations can mediate genetic variability. In this review, we highlight recent studies that have examined the relationship between genetics and epigenetics, and how epigenetic studies may complement genetic studies in understanding the impact of common disease causing alleles.
