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 large-scale application of the mammalian methylation array has substantially expanded the availability of DNA methylation data in mammalian species. However, this data captures only a small portion of species-tissue combinations. To address this, we develop CMImpute (Cross-species Methylation Imputation), a method based on a conditional variational autoencoder, to impute DNA methylation representing species-tissue combinations. We demonstrate that CMImpute achieves strong sample-wise correlation between imputed and observed values. Using CMImpute and data from 348 species and 59 tissue types, we impute methylation data for 19,786 new species-tissue combinations. We expect CMImpute will be a useful resource for DNA methylation analyses.
