High-throughput, pan-leukocyte biomarkers for the detection of inflammation in human breastmilk and stool.
Article in Frontiers in epigenetics and epigenomics, 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
Background: DNA methylation can be used to track cellular identity. We have previously developed a high-throughput, cost-effective DNA methylation pipeline containing two loci, Results: We report that our leukocyte methylation assay can quantify the proportion of leukocytes in breastmilk, and find leukocyte levels fluctuate dramatically in concert with infection severity. We benchmarked our leukocyte methylation pipeline in stool samples against the commonly used faecal calprotectin assay. Our results show a high concordance between the two methods indicating the viability of our DNA methylation biomarkers in the context of intestinal inflammation. Conclusion: The data presented here emphasise the clinical applicability of our high-throughput DNA methylation assay in the context of mastitis and intestinal inflammation.
