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

backgroundMeasuring the DNA methylome may offer the opportunity to identify novel disease biomarkers and insights into disease mechanisms. Although aberrant DNA methylation has been investigated in many human cancers and precancerous lesions, the DNA methylation landscape of gastric cardiac intestinal metaplasia (IM) remains unknown. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the genome-wide DNA methylation landscape and to search for potential epigenetic biomarkers of gastric cardiac IM.

methodsHistopathologic profiling was performed on a total of 118 gastric cardiac biopsies from cancer-free individuals. Genome-wide DNA methylation analysis was performed on 11 gastric cardiac mucosal biopsies (IM = 7; normal = 4) using Illumina 850K microarrays. Transcriptional relevance of any candidate epigenetic biomarker was validated by qRT-PCR.

resultsThe detection rate of gastric cardiac IM was 23% (27/118) in cancer-free individuals. Genome-wide DNA methylation profiling showed a global decrease in methylation in IM compared with normal tissues (median methylation = 0.64 and 0.70 for gastric cardiac IM and normal tissues, respectively). Differential methylation analysis between gastric cardiac IM and normal tissues identified 38,237 differentially methylated probes (DMPs) with a majority of sites showing hypermethylation in IM compared with normal tissues (56.3% vs. 43.7%). Subsequent analysis revealed a significant enrichment of hypermethylated DMPs in promoter and CpG islands (p < 0.001 for both, Pearson χ

conclusionsOur results suggest the implication of alterations in DNA methylation in gastric cardiac IM and highlight that HOXA5 hypermethylation may be a promising epigenetic biomarker, emphasizing the role of aberrant HOXA5 expression in the pathogenesis of gastric cardiac IM.
