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

Fetal growth restriction (FGR) is a major contributor to perinatal morbidity and mortality, most commonly arising from placental dysfunction, with increasing evidence implicating aberrant DNA methylation in its pathogenesis. To identify robust epigenetic alterations associated with FGR, we analyzed placental chorionic villi from an in-house early-onset FGR cohort and compared them with a publicly available dataset (GSE100197). DNA methylation profiling was performed using Illumina EPIC (in-house) and 450K (public) arrays, processed with identical normalization and quality-control pipelines, including adjustment for gestational age and estimation of placental cell-type composition. Differentially methylated positions (DMPs) were identified using linear regression models, revealing 10,427 DMPs in the in-house cohort and 7467 in the public dataset, with 108 shared DMPs showing consistent direction of change across both cohorts. Promoter-associated DMPs were mapped to genes involved in angiogenesis, morphogenesis, immune regulation, and transcriptional control, including
