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

Gonadotroph nonfunctioning pituitary adenomas (NFPAs) are common intracranial tumors, but the role of aberrant epigenetic regulation in their development remains poorly understood. In this study, we investigated the effect of impaired CpG methylation in NFPAs. We determined DNA methylation and transcriptomic profiles in 32 NFPAs and normal pituitary sections using methylation arrays and sequencing, respectively. Ten percent of differentially methylated CpGs were correlated with gene expression, and the affected genes are involved in a variety of tumorigenesis-related pathways. Different proportions of gene body and promoter region localization were observed in CpGs with negative and positive correlations between methylation and gene expression, and different proportions of CpGs were located in 'open sea' and 'shelf/shore' regions. The expression of ~8% of genes differentially expressed in NFPAs was related to aberrant methylation. Methylation levels of seven CpGs located in the regulatory regions of
