Epigenetics: A link between toxicants and diseases.
Review in iScience, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Epigenetics is a complex network of molecular mechanisms, including DNA modifications, histone modifications, and non-coding RNA transcripts that influence gene transcription in heritable ways across cells. Over the last decades, epigenetic mechanisms have gained significant attention in the field of toxicology. Various research groups are investigating the epigenetic impact of toxicants due to their role in mediating the effects of environmental factors on cellular function, in complex diseases, and in explaining adverse effects on offspring. Here, we give an overview of these studies, exploring the intersection of epigenetics and toxicology and focusing on how not only environmental pollutants but also recreational substances, such as tobacco smoke and alcoholic beverages, can impact DNA and histone modifications.
