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 is an important epigenetic modification that alters gene expression; DNA hypomethylation contributes to tumorigenesis through multiple processes. In the present study, the methylation of long interspersed element-1 (LINE-1) in 95 gastric cancer (GC) tissues and matched adjacent normal tissues was investigated by pyrosequencing. LINE-1 methylation was compared with the expression of ubiquitin-like with PHD and ring-finger protein 1 (UHRF1), an essential regulator of DNA methylation, using reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Significant hypomethylation of LINE-1 and overexpression of UHRF1 were observed in GC tissues compared with the matched controls (P<0.001 and P=0.001, respectively). LINE-1 hypomethylation was inversely correlated with UHRF1 overexpression in GC tissues (r=-0.026, P=0.028). In addition, LINE-1 hypomethylation in GC was significantly associated with Lauren's histological classification, tumor differentiation and background intestinal metaplasia (P=0.014, P=0.042 and P=0.034, respectively). These results suggest that LINE-1 hypomethylation may be a potential biomarker for GC and it is indirectly regulated by UHRF1 overexpression.
