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 can regulate gene expression by modulating chromatin accessibility and transcription factor binding on promoter and enhancer regions. Whole-genome bisulfite sequencing (WGBS) represents the most informative and comprehensive analysis to profile the DNA methylation status of all the cytosines at single-base resolution. However, most of the available protocols recommend an amount of input DNA (50 ng-5μg) that makes the WGBS unsuitable for limited samples and cell populations. In this chapter, we provide complete protocol to perform WGBS libraries from very low-input DNA. This protocol is recommended for the analysis of the whole-genome DNA methylation pattern in rare cell populations, like a defined stem cell population isolated from animal models or human samples.
