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

article highlightsApproximately one out of two patients with diabetes develops diabetic neuropathy; of these, 20% experience neuropathic pain. Risk factors for neuropathic pain are largely unknown; however, DNA methylation was recently associated with neuropathies and degeneration of nerve fibers. The aim of this work was to describe the DNA methylation signature and identify genes associated with neuropathic pain in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). We discovered distinct DNA methylation signatures that differentiate painful and painless neuropathy phenotypes associated with T2DM and identified genes with potential as therapeutic targets for neuropathic pain, such as GCH1, MYT1L, and MED16. This work can serve as reference hallmark for future studies on painful diabetic neuropathy and other chronic pain conditions.
