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

Epigenetic factors underlie cellular identity through the regulation of transcriptional networks that establish a cell's phenotype and function. Cell conversions are directed by transcription factor binding at target DNA which induce changes to identity-specific gene regulatory programs. The degree of cell plasticity is determined by the interplay of epigenetic mechanisms to create a landscape susceptible to such binding events. 5-hydroxymethylcytosine, a key intermediate during the process of DNA demethylation, is an epigenetic modification involved in controlling these epigenetic dynamics related to cell identity. Here, the role of 5-hydroxcymethylcytosine during cell identity conversions, including its relationship with other main epigenetic mechanisms, is reviewed.
