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

DNA methylation (DNAm), a major element of epigenetics, plays critical roles in individual development. Reduced representation bisulfite sequencing (RRBS) is an effective and economical method for analyzing the DNA methylation of a single base. The aims of this study were to determine the DNAm profiles of the methylation contexts (CGs and non-CGs) of lactation and dry periods of goat mammary glands using the RRBS, and to identify potential milk-related genes. The proportion of CG was the highest among all the sequence contexts. The highest CG levels (72.44% to 75.24%) occurred in the 3' UTR region, followed by the gene body region (61.14% to 65.45%). The non-CG levels were low compared to the CG levels. Bioinformatic analysis demonstrated that the CGs were mainly enriched at high methylation levels (>90%), while non-CGs were enriched at low methylation levels. Methylation levels of 95 and 54 genes in the lactation period were up- or downregulated, respectively, relative to the dry period, such as
