MeDReaders 2.0: an updated database for modified DNA readers.
Article in BMC genomics, 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
Here, we present a significant update to the MeDReaders database and webserver. The new MeDReaders 2.0 covers interactions between transcription factors (TFs) and DNA cytosine modifications that arise during DNA methylation and active demethylation, including 5‑methylcytosine (5mC), 5‑hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC), 5‑formylcytosine (5fC), and 5‑carboxylcytosine (5caC). Based on TF–modified‑DNA interactions curated from the literature, we extended the original MeDReaders dataset by adding 257 TF–5mC–DNA, 160 TF–5hmC–DNA, 220 TF–5fC–DNA, and 107 TF–5caC–DNA interactions. Using in silico approaches, we integrated whole‑genome bisulfite sequencing (WGBS) and TF ChIP‑seq datasets from the ENCODE and NCBI GEO databases to predict 1,363 TF–5mC–DNA interactions across six human cell lines and one mouse cell line. MeDReaders 2.0 provides a more comprehensive resource for studying how DNA cytosine modifications regulate TF–DNA interactions and for designing related experiments, such as those on dynamic DNA methylation and active demethylation.
