Testing differentially methylated regions through functional principal component analysis.
Article in Journal of applied statistics, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
DNA methylation is an epigenetic modification that plays an important role in many biological processes and diseases. Several statistical methods have been proposed to test for DNA methylation differences between conditions at individual cytosine sites, followed by a post hoc aggregation procedure to explore regional differences. While there are benefits to analyzing CpGs individually, there are both biological and statistical reasons to test entire genomic regions for differential methylation. Variability in methylation levels measured by Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) is often observed across CpG sites in a genomic region. Evaluating meaningful changes in regional level methylation profiles between conditions over noisy site-level measurements is often difficult to implement with parametric models. To overcome these limitations, this study develops a nonparametric approach to detect predefined differentially methylated regions (DMR) based on functional principal component analysis (FPCA). The performance of this approach is compared with two alternative methods (GIFT and M3D), using real and simulated data.
