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

Cytosine methylome data is commonly generated through next-generation sequencing, with analyses averaging methylation states of individual reads. We propose an alternative method of analysing single-read methylome data. Using this method, we identify patterns relating to the mechanism of two plant non-CG-methylating enzymes, CMT2 and DRM2. CMT2-methylated regions show higher stochasticity, while DRM2-methylated regions have higher variation among cells. Based on these patterns, we develop a classifier that predicts enzyme activity in different species and tissues. To facilitate further single-read analyses, we develop a genome browser, SRBrowse, optimised for visualising and analysing sequencing data at single-read resolution.
