Incorporation of an Epigenetic Evaluation into Safety Assessment: What we First Need to Know.
Article in Current opinion in toxicology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
The rapidly evolving field of epigenetic regulation of gene expression is having an impact across the spectrum of biomedical research. Toxicologists have embraced this area as evidenced by their increasing focus on discerning potential epigenetic mechanisms underlying mechanisms by which chemical and physical agents might cause toxicity. It is not surprising that an interest in epigenetic mechanisms of toxicity would lead to a desire to incorporate an epigenetic component into safety assessment. However, premature movement in this direction carries the risk of imposing more confusion than light. This commentary provides an overview of epigenetics, with an emphasis on how the various epigenetic parameters are integrated, as a basis for understanding the complexity behind the desire to include epigenetic evaluations in safety evaluations. Basically, we have much more to learn before turning the goal into a reality. However, considerable progress has been made with regard to using epigenetic profiles as signatures of xenobiotic exposure.
