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

Epigenetics is the study of heritable changes in gene expression that occur without alterations to the DNA sequence, linking the genome to its surroundings. The accumulation of epigenetic alterations over the lifespan may contribute to neurodegeneration. The aim of the present study was to identify epigenetic biomarkers for improving diagnostic efficacy in patients with neurodegenerative diseases. We analyzed global DNA methylation, chromatin remodeling/histone modifications, sirtuin (SIRT) expression and activity, and the expression of several important neurodegeneration-related genes. DNA methylation, SIRT expression and activity and neuregulin 1 (NRG1), microtubule-associated protein tau (MAPT) and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) expression were reduced in buffy coat samples from patients with neurodegenerative disorders. Our data suggest that these epigenetic biomarkers may be useful in clinical practical for the diagnosis, surveillance, and prognosis of disease activity in patients with neurodegenerative diseases.
