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

Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a heritable disease characterized by bilateral renal enlargement due to the growth of cysts throughout the kidneys. Inheritance of a disease-causing mutation is required to develop ADPKD, which results in end-stage kidney disease and is associated with a high morbidity. The pathology underlying cyst formation is not well understood. To address this, we have previously shown the global methylome is altered in ADPKD tissue, suggesting a role of DNA methylation in disease-state renal tissue. As cysts are believed to arise independently, we hypothesize that DNA methylation changes vary accordingly. Here we further investigate the role of DNA methylation within independent cysts to characterize key intra-individual changes. We demonstrate that fragments within CpG islands and gene bodies harbor the greatest amount of variation across the ADPKD kidney, while intergenic fragments are comparatively stable. A proportion of variably methylated genes were also differentially methylated in ADPKD tissue. Our data provide evidence that individual molecular mechanisms are operating in the development of each cyst.
