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

Our understanding of the origins of noncommunicable diseases has evolved over the years with greater consideration given to the lasting influence exposures and experiences during the preconceptional and prenatal periods can have. Research highlights the associations of parental exposures (e.g., diet, obesity, gestational diabetes, lipid profile, toxic exposures and microbiome) with the infant/fetal methylome and suggest associations with infant, child and/or adolescent chronic health outcomes. Thus, epigenetics and specifically cord blood DNA methylation may have utility as biomarkers for disease risk identification and stratification in pediatrics. However, for cord blood DNA methylation analyses to be leveraged as biomarkers of disease risk in pediatric clinical practice, the results must be replicable, validated and clinically meaningful. Challenges and opportunities to this prospect are herein discussed.
