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

Obesity impairs hepatic functions through abnormal functional protein expression, potentially through DNA methylation, which suppresses gene expression, and changes in transcription factors (TFs) expression. However, the specific protein expression changes associated with DNA methylation in the obese liver remain unclear. To dissect the relative association of DNA methylome and TF-binding with protein expression changes in the obese liver, we used a trans-omic integration approach combining DNA methylome, transcriptome, proteome, and TF-binding data for the livers of wild-type (WT) and obese (ob/ob) mice. We found that gene and protein expression changes were more strongly associated with TF expression changes than with changes in DNA methylation in promoter region. However, decreased protein expression of the complement and coagulation system in obesity was specifically associated with increased DNA methylation together with decreased expression of TF Hnf4a. Our study highlights abnormal protein expression specifically associated with DNA methylation and TF expression changes in obesity.
