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 molecular determinants that are independent of phenotypic features. The epigenetic features include DNA methylation, histone modifications, non‑coding RNAs, and chromatin remodeling. In multicellular organisms, the epigenetic state of a cell is critical in determining its differentiation status and its ability to perform its proper function. These processes are now well recognized as being a substantial factor in tumor progression and metastasis. The process through which epithelial cells acquire mesenchymal features is known as epithelial‑mesenchymal transition (EMT). EMT is associated with tumorigenesis, invasion, metastasis, and resistance to therapy in cancer. In the present review, we examine the recent studies that demonstrate the biological role of epigenetics, in particular, DNA methylation, histone modifications, non‑coding RNAs, and chromatin remodeling in tumor progression and metastasis by regulating EMT status, and we provide an overview of the current state of knowledge regarding the epigenetics involvement in tumor progression and metastasis. Because epigenetic changes can be reversed, learning more about their biological roles in EMT will not only help us better understand how cancer progresses and spreads, but it will also help us identify new ways to diagnose and treat human malignancy, which is currently lacking in the clinical setting.
