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

Methylated non-CpGs (mCpHs) in mammalian cells yield weak enrichment signals and colocalize with methylated CpGs (mCpGs), thus have been considered byproducts of hyperactive methyltransferases. However, mCpHs are cell type-specific and associated with epigenetic regulation, although their dependency on mCpGs remains to be elucidated. In this study, we demonstrated that mCpHs colocalize with mCpGs in pluripotent stem cells, but not in brain cells. In addition, profiling genome-wide methylation patterns using a hidden Markov model revealed abundant genomic regions in which CpGs and CpHs are differentially methylated in brain. These regions were frequently located in putative enhancers, and mCpHs within the enhancers increased in correlation with brain age. The enhancers with hypermethylated CpHs were associated with genes functionally enriched in immune responses, and some of the genes were related to neuroinflammation and degeneration. This study provides insight into the roles of non-CpG methylation as an epigenetic code in the mammalian brain genome.
