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

Aberrant expression of imprinted genes results in imprinting disorders (IDs). Differentially methylated regions (DMRs) reveal parental-origin-specific DNA methylation on CpGs and regulate the expression of the imprinted genes. One etiology of IDs is epimutation (epi-IDs) induced by some error in the establishment or maintenance of methylation imprint during the processes of gametogenesis, fertilization, or early embryonic development. Therefore, it has been a concern that assisted reproductive technologies (ART) increase the risk for the development of IDs, particularly epi-IDs. We review the effects of ART on DNA methylation of the genome, including DMRs in gametes, embryos, and offspring, and the risk of advanced parental age (a confounding factor of ART) and infertility itself for the development of IDs, particularly epi-IDs.
