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

We present an update of EpiFactors, a manually curated database providing information about epigenetic regulators, their complexes, targets, and products which is openly accessible at http://epifactors.autosome.org. An updated version of the EpiFactors contains information on 902 proteins, including 101 histones and protamines, and, as a main update, a newly curated collection of 124 lncRNAs involved in epigenetic regulation. The amount of publications concerning the role of lncRNA in epigenetics is rapidly growing. Yet, the resource that compiles, integrates, organizes, and presents curated information on lncRNAs in epigenetics is missing. EpiFactors fills this gap and provides data on epigenetic regulators in an accessible and user-friendly form. For 820 of the genes in EpiFactors, we include expression estimates across multiple cell types assessed by CAGE-Seq in the FANTOM5 project. In addition, the updated EpiFactors contains information on 73 protein complexes involved in epigenetic regulation. Our resource is practical for a wide range of users, including biologists, bioinformaticians and molecular/systems biologists.
