Identification of differentially methylated genes in first-trimester placentas with trisomy 16.
Article in Scientific reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
The presence of an extra chromosome in the embryo karyotype often dramatically affects the fate of pregnancy. Trisomy 16 is the most common aneuploidy in first-trimester miscarriages. The present study identified changes in DNA methylation in chorionic villi of miscarriages with trisomy 16. Ninety-seven differentially methylated sites in 91 genes were identified (false discovery rate (FDR) < 0.05 and Δβ > 0.15) using DNA methylation arrays. Most of the differentially methylated genes encoded secreted proteins, signaling peptides, and receptors with disulfide bonds. Subsequent analysis using targeted bisulfite massive parallel sequencing showed hypermethylation of the promoters of specific genes in miscarriages with trisomy 16 but not miscarriages with other aneuploidies. Some of the genes were responsible for the development of the placenta and embryo (GATA3-AS1, TRPV6, SCL13A4, and CALCB) and the formation of the mitotic spindle (ANKRD53). Hypermethylation of GATA3-AS1 was associated with reduced expression of GATA3 protein in chorionic villi of miscarriages with trisomy 16. Aberrant hypermethylation of genes may lead to a decrease in expression, impaired trophoblast differentiation and invasion, mitotic disorders, chromosomal mosaicism and karyotype self-correction via trisomy rescue mechanisms.
