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

Malignant transformation is frequently associated with disease-specific epigenetic alterations, but the underlying mechanisms and pathophysiological consequences remain poorly understood. Here, we used global comparative DNA methylation profiling at CG-rich regions of 27 acute myeloid leukemia (AML) samples to select a subset of aberrantly methylated CG-rich regions (~400 regions, ~15,000 CpGs) for quantitative DNA methylation profiling in a large cohort of AML patients (n = 196) using MALDI-TOF analysis of bisulfite-treated DNA. Meta-analysis separated a subgroup of CG-rich regions showing highly correlated DNA methylation changes that were marked by histone H3 lysine 27 trimethylation in normal hematopoietic progenitor cells. While the group of non-polycomb group (PcG) target regions displayed methylation patterns that correlated well with molecular and cytogenetic markers, PcG target regions displayed a much weaker association with genetic features. However, the degree of methylation gain across the latter panel showed significant correlation with active DNMT3A levels and with overall survival. Our study suggests that both epigenetic as well as genetic aberrations underlay AML-related changes in DNA methylation at CG-rich regions and that the former may provide a marker to improve classification and prognostication of adult AML patients.
