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

The ability of epigenetic markers to affect genome function has enabled transformative changes in drug discovery, especially in cancer and other emerging therapeutic areas. Concordant with the introduction of the term 'epi-informatics', the size of the epigenetically relevant chemical space has grown substantially and so did the number of applications of cheminformatic methods to epigenetics. Recent progress in epi-informatics has improved our understanding of the structure-epigenetic activity relationships and boosted the development of models predicting novel epigenetic agents. Herein, we review the advances in computational approaches to drug discovery of small molecules with epigenetic modulation profiles, summarize the current chemogenomics data available for epigenetic targets, and provide a perspective on the greater utility of biomedical knowledge mining as a means to advance the epigenetic drug discovery.
