Epigenetics of Chronic Stress: Mechanisms and Health Impacts.
Review in Current genomics, 2025. 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
Chronic stress is a major public health concern, contributing to a spectrum of physiological and psychological disorders, including anxiety, depression, cardiovascular diseases, and metabolic syndromes. This review examines the epigenetic mechanisms mediating the impact of chronic stress on human health, focusing on DNA methylation, histone modifications, and non-coding RNAs. These epigenetic alterations act as dynamic interfaces between environmental stressors and genomic responses, modifying gene expression in critical stress-related pathways, such as the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and neurotrophic factors like BDNF. The significance of this research lies in elucidating how these epigenetic changes, induced by early-life adversity, socioeconomic pressures, and environmental toxins, create lasting molecular imprints that increase susceptibility to stress-related disorders and can be transmitted across generations. Key findings include stress-induced hypermethylation of the glucocorticoid receptor gene (NR3C1), histone acetylation changes in brain regions like the hippocampus and amygdala, and the regulatory roles of microRNAs (
