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

DNA methylation is a common mechanism of epigenetic regulation involved in transcriptional modulation and genome stability. With the evolution of next-generation sequencing technologies, establishing quantitative genome-wide DNA methylation profiles is becoming routine in many laboratories. However, many of these approaches take several days to accomplish and use subjective PCR methods to amplify sequencing libraries, which can induce amplification bias. Here we propose a rapid Reduced Representation Bisulfite Sequencing (rRRBS) protocol to minimize PCR amplification bias and reduce total time of multiplexed library construction. In this modified approach, the precise quantification of the final library amplification step is accomplished and monitored by qPCR, instead of using standard PCR and gel electrophoresis, to determine the appropriate number of cycles to perform. The main advantages of this rRRBS method are: i) Reduced amount of amplification enzyme used for library prep, ii) Reduced number of PCR cycles resulting in less PCR amplification bias, and iii) Preparation of quality multiplexed rRRBS libraries in only ~2 days.
