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 ability to accurately quantitate and experimentally examine epigenetic modifications across the human genome has exploded in the past decade. This has given rise to a wealth of new information concerning the contributions of epigenetic regulatory networks to the pathogenesis of human disease. In particular, immunological disorders have strong developmental roots in chromatin regulatory pathways. In this review, we focus on the epigenetic signatures and new discoveries revealing the epigenetic compositions of specific immunological cancers and autoimmune diseases. We also comment on the conserved epigenetic roots among diverse immunological disorders and suggest inhibition strategies that may be relevant for future treatment. Finally, we highlight emerging experimental tools with the capability to examine the mechanisms of chromatin regulatory enzymes with a high level of temporal control. The knowledge of genetic and epigenetic defects in immunological disease combined with new experimental approaches will elucidate the contribution of individual enzymes in complex epigenetic regulatory networks. This could lead to new diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for some very diverse and difficult to treat human diseases.
