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

There is increasing evidence that exposure to air pollutants is associated with human disease and may act through epigenetic modification of the nuclear genome, but there have been few publications describing their impact upon the mitochondrial genome. Mitochondrial DNA may be more susceptible to pollutant-induced changes via increased oxidative stress in the cell, and therefore this field of research is of growing interest. Many techniques employed to study DNA methylation of the nuclear genome are also applicable to mitochondrial epigenetic studies. In this chapter, we describe a protocol for the isolation of mitochondrial DNA from peripheral blood samples and the analysis of 5-methylcytosine content by bisulfite pyrosequencing.
