Association between Serum Vitamin B12 and Global DNA Methylation in Colorectal Cancer Patients.
Article in Nutrients, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers.
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.
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
Vitamin B12 has been widely related to methionine metabolism, which is an essential component for biological methylation reactions, including DNA methylation. However, the relationship between vitamin B12 and DNA methylation is still controversial. In addition, there is increasing evidence for the association between vitamin B12 and the risk of colorectal cancer (CRC), although results of this association need to be assessed with caution. For this purpose, we hypothesized that serum vitamin B12 could be associated with global DNA methylation in the CRC context. To test this hypothesis, we studied the association between global DNA methylation through long interspersed nuclear element-1 (
