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

Produced as linear biopolymers from four major types of building blocks, DNA and RNA are further furnished with a range of covalent modifications. Despite the impressive specificity of natural enzymes, the transferred groups are often poor reporters and not amenable to further derivatization. Therefore, strategies based on repurposing some of these enzymatic reactions to accept derivatized versions of the transferrable groups have been exploited. By far the most widely used are S-adenosylmethionine-dependent methyltransferases, which along with several other nucleic acids modifying enzymes offer a broad selection of tagging chemistries and molecular features on DNA and RNA that can be targeted in vitro and in vivo. Engineered enzymatic reactions have been implemented in validated DNA sequencing-based protocols for epigenome analysis. The utility of chemo-enzymatic labeling is further enhanced with recent advances in physical detection of individual reporter groups on DNA using super resolution microscopy and nanopore sensing enabling single-molecule multiplex analysis of genetic and epigenetic marks in minute samples. Altogether, a number of new powerful techniques are currently in use or on the verge of real benchtop applications as research tools or next generation diagnostics.
