Evaluation of Illumina and Oxford Nanopore Sequencing for the Study of DNA Methylation in Alzheimer's Disease and Frontotemporal Dementia.
Review in International journal of molecular sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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 critical epigenetic mechanism involved in numerous physiological processes. Alterations in DNA methylation patterns are associated with various brain disorders, including dementias such as Alzheimer's disease (AD) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Investigating these alterations is essential for understanding the pathogenesis and progression of these disorders. Among the various methods for detecting DNA methylation, DNA sequencing is one of the most widely employed. Specifically, two main sequencing approaches are commonly used for DNA methylation analysis: bisulfite sequencing and single-molecule long-read sequencing. In this review, we compared the performances of CpG methylation detection obtained using two popular sequencing platforms, Illumina for bisulfite sequencing and Oxford Nanopore (ON) for long-read sequencing. Our comparison considers several factors, including accuracy, efficiency, genomic regions, costs, wet-lab protocols, and bioinformatics pipelines. We provide insights into the strengths and limitations of both methods with a particular focus on their application in research on AD and FTD.
