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

Epigenetic modifications play an important role in regulation of transcription and gene expression. The molecular machinery governing epigenetic modifications, also known as epigenetic regulators, include non-coding RNA, chromatin remodelers, and enzymes or proteins responsible for binding, reading, writing and erasing DNA and histone modifications. Recent advancement in human genetics and high throughput sequencing technology have allowed the identification of causative variants, many of which are epigenetic regulators, for a wide variety of childhood growth disorders that include skeletal dysplasias, idiopathic short stature, and generalized overgrowth syndromes. In this review, we highlight the connection between epigenetic modifications, genetic variants in epigenetic regulators and childhood growth disorders being established over the past decade, discuss their insights into skeletal biology, and the potential of epidrugs as a new type of therapeutic intervention.
