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

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a pathological metabolic disorder induced by the interaction of genetic and environmental factors. Epigenetic modifications, especially DNA and RNA methylation, might be the bridge between hereditary and environmental factors. This study aimed to comprehensively analyze the status and prospective trends of the association between T2DM and DNA/RNA methylation modifications by using bibliometric software. Methods: All the publications in the Web of Science database for the research of T2DM with DNA and RNA methylation modifications were obtained from the earliest mention to December 2022. CiteSpace software was used to analyze countries, institutions, journals/cited-references, authors/cited-authors, and keywords. Results of the comprehensive visualization and bibliometric analysis were displayed relative to the research hotspots and knowledge structure. Results: A total of 1,233 publications related to DNA and RNA methylation modifications and T2DM were collected. The number of publications per year and the overall trend consistently and significantly increased during the investigation period. Based on the highest publication counts, the most influential country was the USA, while Lund University was the most productive institution. DIABETES was considered the most popular journal. The most frequent keywords identified in the field of methylation and T2DM were mainly involved in developmental origin, insulin resistance, and metabolism. The study suggested that the study of methylation modifications had an increasingly significant role in understanding the progression of T2DM. Conclusion: CiteSpace visualization software was utilized to investigate the status and trends of DNA and RNA methylation modifications in the pathology of T2DM over the past 30 years. Findings from the study provide a guiding perspective for researchers regarding future research directions in this field.
