Multiplex Digital PCR Assay Targeting DNA Methylation for Early Detection of Cancer.
Article in Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Digital PCR has been demonstrated to enable the precise nucleic acid absolute quantification across a wide range of applications. Historically, dPCR technology was limited to two channels for fluorescence detection. Recent advances in digital PCR have made it possible to multiplex and allow for simultaneous analysis of multiple targets within a PCR reaction. Here, we describe a multiplex dPCR assay for the detection and quantification of methylated DNA (also known as DNA-methylation-specific multiplex digital PCR, or DNA-methylation specific dPCR). We also demonstrate the application of this technology for the development of a candidate DNA methylation-based biomarker panel for the early detection of high-grade dysplasia and esophageal adenocarcinoma. Further, we discuss common technical challenges and troubleshooting for performing successful DNA-methylation-specific MS-dPCR assays.
