1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

The mitotic inheritability of DNA methylation as an epigenetic marker in higher-order eukaryotes has been established for >40 years. The DNA methylome and mitotic division interplay is now considered bidirectional and highly intertwined. Various epigenetic writers, erasers, and modulators shape the perceived replicative methylation dynamics. This Review surveys the principles and complexity of mitotic transmission of DNA methylation, emphasizing the awareness of mitotic aging in analyzing DNA methylation dynamics in development and disease. We reviewed how DNA methylation changes alter mitotic proliferation capacity, implicating age-related diseases like cancer. We link replicative epimutation to stem cell dysfunction, inflammatory response, cancer risks, and epigenetic clocks, discussing the causative role of DNA methylation in health and disease.
