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

highlightsSingle nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs) modulate protein expression and affect DNA methylation.Aberrant DNA methylation, have been associated with gastric carcinogenesis.DNMT2 rs11254413 is associated with protection for GC development.DNMT3A rs7560488, DNMT3A rs36012910 and, specially, DNMT1 rs16999593 are associated with increased susceptibility for GC development. ABSTRACT: Epigenetics alterations, including aberrant DNA methylation, have been associated with gastric carcinogenesis. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs) may influence protein expression and therefore affect DNA regulation and susceptibility for Gastric Cancer (GC).We have performed a systematic review and meta-analysis involving 11 studies and a total of 24 SNPs in DNMTs were analyzed. According to literature, only 4 SNPs, DNMT1 rs16999593, DNMT2 rs11254413 and DNMT3A rs7560488 and DNMT3A rs36012910, were associated with GC. DNMT1 rs16999593 and DNMT3A rs7560488C allele and DNMT3A rs36012910 G allele showed an increased risk for GC. On the other hand, DNMT2 rs11254413 G allele presented a protective effect for GC. Additionally, the meta-analysis evaluated the SNPs analyzed in more than one study (
