Whole-genome 5-hydroxymethylation profiling of human neurons for regulatory and biological insight.
Article in Epigenetics & chromatin, 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
While 5-methylcytosine (5mC) DNA methylation is a well-known player in genome stability and transcriptional regulation, the role of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC), particularly prevalent in neurons, remains largely unknown. Here, we used long-read Oxford Nanopore Technology (ONT) to profile whole-genome, native 5mC and 5hmC levels in sorted neuronal nuclei samples from human post-mortem brain tissue. Genomic annotation revealed high 5hmC levels in actively transcribed genes and enhancers, which were enriched in neuron-related pathways, with functional variety when stratifying across chromatin states. Furthermore, 5hmC and 5mC modifications were enriched at transcription factor binding sites, affecting specific downstream regulatory networks. Altogether, our study demonstrates the potential of 5hmC and 5mC DNA modifications to provide biological insight into the regulatory landscape and function of human neurons.
