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

Accumulation of somatic mutations and genomic instability are hallmarks of both aging and cancer. Epigenetic alterations occur across cell types and tissues with advancing age. DNA methylation-based estimates of biologic age can predict important age-related outcomes, including risk of frailty and mortality, and most recently have been shown to be associated with risk of developing cancer. In this mini-review, we examine pathways known to exhibit altered methylation in aging tissues, pre-malignant lesions, and tumors and review methodologies of epigenetic clocks that reliably predict cancer risk, including those derived from methylation studies of peripheral blood, as well as those methylation levels from within the tissues at high risk of cancer.
