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

Stimulation or infection of innate immune cells induces profound epigenetic changes, including the induction of histone modifications and alterations in DNA methylation levels. While some of these changes are rapidly reversible, others appear to be long-lasting, even in mitotic populations, with important functional consequences for the stimulus-experienced cell. Here we discuss the individual contributions of each of the plethora of known epigenetic modifications to the initial transcriptional response to immune activation, their dynamics as cells return to homeostasis, and their contribution to memory of the initial stimulus.
