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

MATERIALS AND

methodsThe study used a GSE87571 methylation dataset obtained from the blood DNA of 729 individuals aged 14 to 94 using the Illumina Infinium HumanMethylation450K BeadChip (USA). Gene ontology analysis was performed for 3 groups of genes (females, males, and duplicates) using the PANTHER database. The DAVID platform was used to perform KEGG metabolic pathway analysis.

resultsThe studies revealed unique for males and females changes in methylation of CpG sites, associated with certain metabolic processes. It was demonstrated that most of the CpG sites, for which methylation changes with age were revealed in both sexes, are associated with the genes responsible for the development and functioning of the nervous system. In males, unique age-related methylation changes affect CpG sites associated with changes in the immune system and lipid metabolism. In females, most CpGs are associated with changes involved in transcription and translation processes. Analysis of biological functions by KEGG revealed that a unique process associated with age-related changes in methylation of the glutamatergic system is typical for males. In females, unique biological processes with age-related changes include genes responsible for the development of diabetes and genes associated with cAMP signaling cascades (KEGG:04024).

conclusionOur studies reveal fundamental features of sex-dependent changes in methylation of CpG sites with variance increasing, which may indicate differences in age-related changes.
