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

Prior studies showed that Toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling pathway genes were upregulated in the liver of rats fed ethanol, but not in rats fed ethanol plus S-adenosylmethionine (SAMe). These results were obtained using a PCR microplate array analysis for TLRs and associated proteins such as proinflammatory cytokines and chemokine mRNA levels. A large number of genes were upregulated by the ethanol diet, but not the ethanol plus SAMe diet. In the present study, using the same experimental rat livers, DNA methylation analysis was done by using an Epitect Methyl DNA Restriction Kit (Qiagen, 335451) (24 genes). The results of all the genes combined show a highly significant increase in methylation in the ethanol-fed group of rats, but not in the dextrose-fed, SAMe-fed or ethanol plus SAMe-fed groups of rats. There was also an increase in DNA methylation in rats with high blood alcohol levels compared to a rat with a low blood alcohol level. The individual genes that were upregulated as indicated by the increased mRNA measured by qPCR correlated positively with the increased methylation of the DNA of the corresponding genes as follows: Cd14, Hspa1a, Irf1, Irak1, Irak2, Map3k7, Myd88, Pparα, Ripk2, Tollip and Traf6.
