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

Chemical modification of nucleotide bases in DNA provides one mechanism for conveying information in addition to the genetic code. 5-methylcytosine (5mC) represents the most common chemically modified base in eukaryotic genomes. Sometimes referred to simply as DNA methylation, in eukaryotes 5mC is most prevalent at CpG dinucleotides and is frequently associated with transcriptional repression of transposable elements. However, 5mC levels and distributions are variable across phylogenies, and emerging evidence suggests that the functions of DNA methylation may be more diverse and complex than was previously appreciated. We summarize the current understanding of DNA methylation profiles and functions in different eukaryotic lineages.
