Review in Current nutrition reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

purpose of reviewUnraveling the diet-epigenetics-neurodegeneration connection may disclose associated mechanisms and novel approaches to the neurodegenerative diseases. This review summarizes the basic concepts and the innovative results in this field focusing on the relevance of non-CpG methylation. RECENT

findingsMany multifactorial neurodegenerative diseases are associated with epigenetic changes, and the brain seems more prone to epigenetic changes than other tissues. Several environmental factors induce epigenetic modulation in the organisms: diet and nutrition retain a high capacity to modulate the epigenetic traits. Finally, unexpected, specific, and functional non-CpG methylation in the brain was identified. Non-CpG methylation modulates brain expression of genes especially in promoters characterized by low-density CpGs distribution. These genes appear more prone to the epigenetic effect of environmental factors, i.e., diet, possibly inducing neurodegenerative processes. Understanding these processes could help in setting nutritional intervention aimed at contrasting neurodegenerative diseases.
