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

The methylation of DNA is a prevalent epigenetic modification that plays a crucial role in the pathological progression of ocular diseases. DNA methylation can regulate gene expression, thereby affecting cell function and signal transduction. Ophthalmic diseases are a kind of complex diseases, and their pathogenesis involves many factors such as genetic, environmental and individual differences. In addition, inflammation, oxidative stress and lipid metabolism, which abnormal DNA methylation is closely related to, are also considered to be major factors in eye diseases. The current understanding of DNA methylation in eye diseases is becoming more complex and comprehensive. In addition to the simple suppression of gene expression by hypermethylation, factors such as hypomethylation or demethylation, DNA methylation in non-promoter regions, interactions with other epigenetic modifications, and dynamic changes in DNA methylation must also be considered. Interestingly, although some genes are at abnormal methylation levels, their expression is not significantly changed, which indirectly reflects the complexity of gene regulation. This review aims to summarize and compare some relevant studies, and provide with new ideas and methods for the prevention and treatment of different eye diseases, such as glaucoma, retinoblastoma, and diabetic retinopathy.
