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

DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs) are widely expressed in the brain, dictating the transcriptional activity of genes through various epigenetic mechanisms. Functional irregularities, alterations in the activity, and aberrant expression levels of DNMTs have been linked to various neurodevelopmental abnormalities, neuropsychiatric disorders, neurodegenerative diseases, and brain cancer. A continuously increasing number of studies address the roles DNMTs have in the brain, to reach a better understanding of their involvement in disease-related pathophysiologies, which in turn is required to dissect their applicability as potential therapeutic targets. This chapter provides an overview of DNMT function in the developing and the adult brain, putting a spotlight on their role in orchestrating diverse aspects of brain development, memory, and aging, followed by a discussion of associated neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative disorders, and the implications in brain cancer.
