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

Epigenetics mechanisms play a significant role in human diseases by altering DNA methylation status, chromatin structure, and/or modifying histone proteins. By modulating the epigenetic status, the expression of genes can be regulated without any change in the DNA sequence itself. Epigenetic drugs exhibit promising therapeutic efficacy against several epigenetically originated diseases including several cancers, neurodegenerative diseases, metabolic disorders, cardiovascular disorders, and so forth. Currently, a considerable amount of research is focused on discovering new drug molecules to combat the existing research gap in epigenetic drug therapy. A novel and efficient delivery system can be established as a promising approach to overcome the drawbacks associated with the current epigenetic modulators. Therefore, formulating the existing epigenetic drugs with distinct encapsulation strategies in nanocarriers, including solid lipid nanoparticles, nanogels, bio-engineered nanocarriers, liposomes, surface modified nanoparticles, and polymer-drug conjugates have been examined for therapeutic efficacy. Nonetheless, several epigenetic modulators are untouched for their therapeutic potential through different delivery strategies. This review provides a comprehensive up to date discussion on the research findings of various epigenetics mechanism, epigenetic modulators, and delivery strategies utilized to improve their therapeutic outcome. Furthermore, this review also highlights the recently emerged CRISPR tool for epigenome editing.
