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

objectiveAssociations have been seen between suicide and differential DNA methylation, with one study showing significant hypomethylation of

methodWith pyrosequencing, we looked at the previously identified region of interest in

resultsNone of the CpG sites measured had an association between groups, although there were distinct clusters of differential methylation in each group. Applying genotypes of SNPs found in the region of interest, rs2121558 and rs1447093, these clusters showed stepwise methylation at each CpG site, regardless of phenotype.

conclusionsIn this small sample size study, differential methylation in
