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

In cancer, genetic mutations have long been considered to be the only driver of neoplasia. However, there is increasing evidence that epigenetic alterations could also play a major role in carcinogenesis and cancer. A number of experimental and epidemiologic studies have shown that many classes of dietary phytochemicals possess cancer-preventive and epigenetic-modifying properties. The report by Derry and colleagues in this issue of the journal shows that grape seed extract (GSE) prevents azoxymethane (AOM)-induced colon colitis via epigenetic microRNA (miRNA) regulation. Although the precise mechanism underlying the control of miRNA expression is not well understood currently, epigenetic changes could play a major role. This report, along with increasing evidence showing the impact of dietary phytochemicals on epigenetic activities, offers new perspectives on miRNA and epigenetic regulation in cancer prevention.
