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

MethMotif (https://methmotif.org) is a publicly available database that provides a comprehensive repository of transcription factor (TF)-binding profiles, enriched with DNA methylation patterns. In this release, we have enhanced the platform, expanding our initial collection to over 700 position weight matrices (PWM), all of which include DNA methylation profiles. One of the key advancements in this release is the segregation of TF-binding motifs based on their cofactors and DNA methylation status. We have previously demonstrated that gene ontology (GO) enriched terms associated with TF target genes may differ based on their association with alternative cofactors and DNA methylation status. MethMotif provides precomputed GO annotations for each human TF of interest, as well as for TF-co-TF complexes, enabling a comprehensive analysis of TF functions in the context of their co-factors. Additionally, MethMotif has been updated to encompass data for two new species, Mus musculus and Arabidopsis thaliana, widening its applicability to a broader community. MethMotif stands out as the first and only TF-binding motifs database to incorporate context-specific PWM coupled with epigenetic information, thereby enlightening context-specific TF functions. This enhancement allows the community to explore and gain deeper insights into the regulatory mechanisms governing transcriptional processes.
