DNA Methylation Analysis by Bisulfite Pyrosequencing of Mouse Embryonic Fibroblasts with Reprogramming Enhanced by Thyroid Hormones.
Article in Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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 a widely studied epigenetic mark which in mammals involves the incorporation of a methyl group to the fifth carbon of cytosines, mainly those belonging to CpG dinucleotides. It has been linked to context-dependent regulatory functions ranging from gene and repetitive DNA silencing to gene body transcriptional activity. Because of its important roles during embryonic development and cell differentiation, DNA methylation can be used to track cell reprogramming by measuring the methylation levels of pluripotency-associated factors. In this scenario, bisulfite pyrosequencing is a simple, robust, and widely used technique which allows for the quantification of DNA methylation levels at small, specific regions of the genome. It involves the amplification and biotin tagging of bisulfite-converted DNA. Single amplified strands are then purified using streptavidin and finally pyrosequenced using a sequencing primer. Thus, it is an ideal method for the quantitative profiling of specific genomic regions, with applications ranging from biomarker discovery and epigenetic clock tracking to omic validation studies.
