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

Although emerging evidence suggests that epigenetic mechanisms contribute to the pathogenesis and progression of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), data remain limited for patients with suboptimal metabolic control. The aim of this study was to assess global DNA methylation in patients with poorly controlled T2DM and to identify diabetes-related factors associated with DNA methylation levels. The study included 107 patients and 50 healthy controls. Global DNA methylation (5mC) was measured by UHPLC-DAD method. Pro-oxidant and antioxidant biomarkers, advanced glycation end-products, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) and complete blood count were determined and leukocyte indices calculated. Patients had a significantly lower 5mC than controls (3.56 ± 0.31% vs. 4.00 ± 0.68%;
