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

purpose of reviewEpigenomics has emerged as a key player in our rapidly evolving understanding of osteoarthritis. Historical studies implicated epigenetic alterations, particularly DNA methylation, in OA pathogenesis; however, recent technological advances have resulted in numerous epigenome-wide studies examining in detail epigenetic modifications in OA. The purpose of this article is to introduce basic concepts in epigenetics and their recent applications to the study of osteoarthritis development and progression. RECENT

findingsEpigenetics describes three major phenomena: DNA modification via methylation, histone sidechain modifications, and short noncoding RNA sequences which work in concert to regulate gene transcription in a heritable fashion. Cartilage has been the most widely studied tissue in OA, and differential methylation of genes involved in inflammation, cell cycle, TGFβ, and HOX genes have been confirmed several times. Bone studies suggest similar findings, and the intriguing possibility of epigenetic changes in subchondral bone during many OA processes. Multiple studies have demonstrated the involvement of certain noncoding RNAs, particularly miR-140, in OA development via modulation of key catabolic factors. Although much work has been done, much is still unknown. Future epigenomic studies will no doubt continue to widen our understanding of extraarticular tissues and OA pathogenesis, and studies in animal models may offer glimpses into epigenome alterations in the earliest stages of OA.
