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

backgroundDiabetic retinopathy (DR), a specific neuron-vascular complication of diabetes, is a major cause of vision loss among middle-aged people worldwide, and the number of DR patients will increase with the increasing incidence of diabetes. At present, it is limited in difficult detection in the early stages, limited treatment and unsatisfactory treatment effects in the advanced stages. MAIN BODY: The pathogenesis of DR is complicated and involves epigenetic modifications, oxidative stress, inflammation and neovascularization. These factors influence each other and jointly promote the development of DR. DNA methylation is the most studied epigenetic modification, which has been a key role in the regulation of gene expression and the occurrence and development of DR. Thus, this review investigates the relationship between DNA methylation and other complex pathological processes in the development of DR. From the perspective of DNA methylation, this review provides basic insights into potential biomarkers for diagnosis, preventable risk factors, and novel targets for treatment.

conclusionDNA methylation plays an indispensable role in DR and may serve as a prospective biomarker of this blinding disease in its relatively early stages. In combination with inhibitors of DNA methyltransferases can be a potential approach to delay or even prevent patients from getting advanced stages of DR.
