The role of DNA methylation in the regulation of HLA expression.
Review in Biomedical papers of the Medical Faculty of the University Palacky, Olomouc, Czechoslovakia, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
DNA methylation plays a critical role in the regulation of gene expression in the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) system which is a key component of immune function. This article reviews the molecular mechanisms by which DNA methylation influences HLA gene regulation, highlighting its impact on their antigen presentation and immune tolerance functions. We describe how methylation patterns vary in HLA class I and II genes, affecting their expression in a tissue- and allele-specific manner. In addition, we examine the interplay of DNA methylation in shaping immune responses. A focus is on the role of methylation in immune-mediated, namely autoimmune diseases, where aberrant epigenetic modifications at HLA loci contribute to disease susceptibility and progression. We also explore how single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within CpG sites can alter methylation patterns and gene expression, providing insights into genetic-epigenetic interactions. These findings may contribute to the development of new diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for immune-mediated diseases.
