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

The gene-regulatory landscape is highly dynamic in healthy and diseased brains. DNA methylation is a well-known epigenetic modification that regulates gene expression, and our previous study demonstrated that S-adenosylmethionine (SAM), a methylome modulator, was a neuroprotectant against perioperative neurocognitive disorder (PND). However, the underlying mechanism remains to be elucidated. Here, we integrated an assay for transposase-accessible chromatin by sequencing (ATAC-seq) and RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) to identify the key genes and pathways involved in the neuroprotection of SAM against PND. Our RNA-seq data demonstrated that genes involved in biological processes such as Wnt signaling, inflammatory response, transcription and long-term potentiation likely mediate the neuroprotection of SAM. Our ATAC-seq data provided comprehensive maps of chromatin accessibility changes induced by laparotomy and laparotomy + SAM treatment, and functional annotation of the regions with high variations in chromatin accessibility highlighted the role of the Wnt signaling pathway in PND pathogenesis and SAM treatment. Further motif analysis identified key transcription factors (e.g., CTCF, TFDP1, TCFL5, KLF15, ZBTB14, TFAP2E) that may participate in the neuroprotection of SAM. In conclusion, the current study provides an epigenomic perspective to understand the pathogenesis of PND and its treatment by SAM.
