Epigenetic-related Effects of COVID-19 on Human Cells.
Article in Infectious disorders drug targets, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Epigenetics is related to the various pathways that show long-term impacts on the gene expression patterns without alterations in nucleotide sequences. Over the last decade, epigenetics advanced significantly in the science of biology, oncology, innate immunity as well as pathogens and infectious diseases. In the present paper, we aimed to review the relationships between COVID-19 and epigenetic alterations of the infected cells. Coronavirus is one of the known infectious diseases that causes respiratory infection, such as pneumonia and coughing, while in animals, it causes diarrhea and upper respiratory disorders. This virus could be transmitted human to human or human to an animal through droplets. It translocates via membrane ACE-2 exopeptidase into the host cells. In conclusion, hypomethylation of angiotensin II converting enzyme (ACE II) possibly upregulates its expression, enhancing the possibility of SARS-CoV-2 infection.
