GsmPlot: a web server to visualize epigenome data in NCBI.
Article in BMC bioinformatics, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundEpigenetic regulation is essential in regulating gene expression across a variety of biological processes. Many high-throughput sequencing technologies have been widely used to generate epigenetic data, such as histone modification, transcription factor binding sites, DNA modifications, chromatin accessibility, and etc. A large scale of epigenetic data is stored in NCBI Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO). However, it is a great challenge to reanalyze these large scale and complex data, especially for researchers who do not specialize in bioinformatics skills or do not have access to expensive computational infrastructure.
resultsGsmPlot can simply accept GSM IDs to automatically download NCBI data or can accept user's private bigwig files as input to plot the concerned data on promoters, exons or any other user-defined genome locations and generate UCSC visualization tracks. By linking public data repository and private data, GsmPlot can spark data-driven ideas and hence promote the epigenetic research.
conclusionsGsmPlot web server allows convenient visualization and efficient exploration of any NCBI epigenetic data in any genomic region without need of any bioinformatics skills or special computing resources. GsmPlot is freely available at https://gsmplot.deqiangsun.org/.
