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

With the rapid development of methylation profiling technology, many datasets are generated to quantify genome-wide methylation patterns. Given the heavy burden of multiple testing of hundreds of thousands of DNA methylation markers, individual studies often have limited sample sizes and power. The EWAS meta-analysis is an approach that combines results from multiple studies on the same scientific question. It helps to improve statistical power by combining information from individual studies and reduce the chances of false positives. This chapter introduces commonly used meta-analysis methods and analytical tools with application to EWAS data.
