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

backgroundMetabolic syndrome has become a major public health challenge worldwide. The association between metabolic syndrome and DNA methylation is of great research interest.

resultsWe constructed a binomial model to investigate the association between a metabolic syndrome index and DNA methylation in the Normative Aging Study. We applied the Iterative Sure Independence Screening (ISIS) method with elastic net penalty to DNA methylation levels at 484,548 CpG markers from 659 human subjects, and demonstrated that the screening step in ISIS can significantly improve the performance of the elastic net.

conclusionThe proposed method identifies four CpGs which can be mapped to two biologically relevant and functional genes. Identification of significant CpG markers may potentially have practical implications for disease prevention and treatment.
