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

With the rapid development of high throughput technologies such as array and next generation sequencing (NGS), genome-wide, nucleotide-resolution epigenomic data are increasingly available. In recent years, there has been particular interest in data on DNA methylation and 3-dimensional (3D) chromosomal organization, which are believed to hold keys to understand biological mechanisms, such as transcription regulation, that are closely linked to human health and diseases. However, small sample size, complicated correlation structure, substantial noise, biases, and uncertainties, all present difficulties for performing statistical inference. In this review, we present an overview of the new technologies that are frequently utilized in studying DNA methylation and 3D chromosomal organization. We focus on reviewing recent developments in statistical methodologies designed for better interrogating epigenomic data, pointing out statistical challenges facing the field whenever appropriate.
