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

DNA methylation is one of the earliest discovered and most extensively studied epigenetic regulatory mechanisms. Broadly, DNA methylation refers to the transfer of a methyl group on S‑adenosine‑L‑methionine (SAM) to the C5 site of cytosine, a reaction catalysed by DNA methyltransferase (DNMT). This process can either up‑ or down‑regulate gene expression due to gene promoter methylation, leading to the occurrence of certain diseases. Urinary system diseases, known for their high prevalence and complex pathogenesis, significantly affect the lives and health of patients. Urological tumours, in particular, represent a non‑negligible disease burden worldwide. With the development of epigenetics, an increasing number of studies have demonstrated that DNMT plays an important role in urinary system disease. The present review aims to explore the relationship between DNMT and urinary system diseases and the potential of DNMT in the clinical management of these diseases.
