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

Oxidative stress and abnormal DNA methylation have been implicated in cancer, including myelodysplastic syndromes (MDSs). This fact leads us to investigate whether oxidative stress is correlated with localized and global DNA methylations in the peripheral blood of MDS patients. Sixty-six MDS patients and 26 healthy individuals were analyzed. Several oxidative stress and macromolecule damage parameters were analyzed. Localized (gene promotor) and global DNA methylations (5-mC and 5-hmC levels; LINE-1 methylation) were assessed. MDS patients had lower levels of reduced glutathione and total antioxidant status (TAS) and higher levels of peroxides, nitric oxide, peroxides/TAS, and 8-hydroxy-2-deoxyguanosine compared with controls. These patients had higher 5-mC levels and lower 5-hmC/5-mC ratio and LINE-1 methylation and increased methylation frequency of at least one methylated gene. Peroxide levels and peroxide/TAS ratio were higher in patients with methylated genes than those without methylation and negatively correlated with LINE-1 methylation and positively with 5-mC levels. The 5-hmC/5-mC ratio was significantly associated with progression to acute leukemia and peroxide/TAS ratio with overall survival. This study points to a relationship between oxidative stress and DNA methylation, two common pathogenic mechanisms involved in MDS, and suggests the relevance of 5-hmC/5-mC and peroxide/TAS ratios as complementary prognostic biomarkers.
