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

backgroundOur previous study suggested that the methylation of vitamin D receptor (

methodsThe consecutive TB patients who were admitted into our department from January 2013 to January 2015 were recruited. The potential methylation sites analyzed in this study included 16 CpG sites. The amplification of bisulfite modified genomic DNA was ligated to pUC18-T vector and the positive clone of blue-white selection was sequenced to analyze the methylation state of

resultsThis study had samples of 27 TB patients and 30 healthy controls. TB patients were in the hyper-methylation state compared to the healthy controls. The significant differences between TB patients and healthy controls were detected in 7 of these 16 CpG sites. The mRNA expression of AKT, GSK3βand FOXO1 decreased in TB patients compared to that of healthy controls.

conclusionsOur study contributes to supplying more evidences that the methylation level of
