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 term epigenetics refers to the heritable changes in gene expression that do not represent changes in DNA sequence. DNA methylation and histone modification are the best studied epigenetic mechanisms. However, microRNAs, which affect gene expression at the posttranscriptional level, should be considered as members of the epigenetic machinery too. Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are clone disorders of the hematopoietic stem cell with increased risk of leukemic transformation. Over the years, increased number of studies indicates the role of epigenetic mechanisms, including microRNAs, in MDS pathogenesis and prognosis. Indeed, epigenetic therapy with demethylating agents has already been applied to MDS. In this review we summarize current knowledge on the role of epigenetic alterations in MDS pathogenesis and treatment.
