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

Hirschsprung disease (HSCR) is attributed to a failure of neural crest cells (NCCs) to migrate, proliferate, differentiate and/or survive in the bowel wall during embryonic Enteric Nervous System (ENS) development. ENS formation is the result from a specific gene expression pattern regulated by epigenetic events, such DNA methylation by the DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs), among other mechanisms. Specifically, DNMT3b de novo methyltransferase is associated with NCCs development and has been shown to be implicated in ENS formation and in HSCR. Aiming to elucidate the specific mechanism underlying the DNMT3b role in such processes, we have performed a chromatin immunoprecipitation coupled with massively parallel sequencing analysis to identify the DNMT3B target genes in enteric precursor cells (EPCs) from mice. Moreover, the expression patterns of those target genes have been analyzed in human EPCs from HSCR patients in comparison with controls. Additionally, we have carried out a search of rare variants in those genes in a HSCR series. Through this approach we found 9 genes showing a significantly different expression level in both groups. Therefore, those genes may have a role in the proper human ENS formation and a failure in their expression pattern might contribute to this pathology.
