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

The interaction of genetic and epigenetic mechanisms is one of the underlying causes of phenotypic variability in complex diseases such as type 2 diabetes (T2D). To explore the influence of genetic and epigenetic changes in T2D, we examined the effect of methylation of CpG-SNP sites on allele-specific expression (ASE) in one-carbon metabolism pathway genes in T2D. Case-control study was conducted on 860 individuals (430 T2D and 430 controls). CpG-SNPs shortlisted through in silico analysis were genotyped using tetra ARMS PCR and validated using Sanger DNA sequencing. Global DNA methylation was carried out using RP-HPLC. Promoter DNA methylation and CpG site-specific methylation were carried out using bisulfite sequencing. mRNA expression and ASE were examined by SYBR green and TaqMan assay, respectively. Four exonic CpG-SNPs of MTHFD1, MTRR, and GGH genes were identified in folate pathway genes. Among these, MTHFD1 rs2236225 showed significant association with T2D independent of obesity, displayed ASE, and correlated with CpG-SNP site-specific methylation when compared with controls. Our results demonstrate that SNP rs2236225 in the CpG site of MTHFD1, which regulates allele-specific gene expression in PBMCs is methylation dependent and may perturb one-carbon metabolism pathway in T2D subjects.
