methylR: a graphical interface for comprehensive DNA methylation array data analysis.
Article in Bioinformatics (Oxford, England), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
motivationDNA methylation analysis using arrays is a widely used method in research and clinical studies to study Epigenetics. Although several packages have been published to incur the results, most of them require a deep computational knowledge to perform the analysis. To resolve the limitation and to offer an easily accessible solution for researchers, we developed methylR a graphical tool that can analyze not only the raw data but also performs different downstream analyses with a few mouse clicks.
resultsWe used standard and established open-source published packages or pipelines in methylR. We evaluated a publicly available dataset and compared the published results with those obtained with our tool. We implemented eight downstream analysis modules that can perform multidimensional analyses to pathway enrichment. Although the main application is designed for Illumina DNA methylation array data analysis, we made the accessory modules suitable for other kinds of data analysis as well.
