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

Increased methylation levels at cytosines proximal to guanines (CpG) in the promoter regions of tumor suppressor genes have been reported to play an important role in the development and progression of bladder cancer. In this study, we conducted a genome-wide analysis using data from The Cancer Genome Atlas to better characterize CpG methylation and mRNA expression patterns in urothelial carcinomas and to identify new epigenetic biomarkers of survival. Across 408 tumors, we identified 223 genes that displayed significant relationships between CpG methylation and mRNA expression levels. Hypermethylation within 200 base pairs upstream of the transcription start site and hypomethylation within the 3' untranslated region and body region were associated with gene silencing. These 223 genes were functionally enriched for their role in glutamate receptor signaling and among them was a novel, tumor-stage-independent epigenetic biomarker of overall mortality,
