Epigenetic insights into food allergy: The potential role of DNA methylation in diagnosis and management.
Review in The World Allergy Organization journal, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Advances in epigenetics have provided critical insights into mechanisms underlying complex immune-mediated diseases. DNA methylation, a key epigenetic modification found across eukaryotes, serves as a crucial regulator linking genetic predisposition with environmental exposures. This review provides an overview of current methods for detecting 5-methylcytosine and summarizes studies investigating the role of DNA methylation in food allergy. Specifically, studies have examined DNA methylation as a potential biomarker of clinical reactivity, tolerance, and disease severity, and as a regulator of pathways influencing allergic susceptibility. Interpretation across studies remains limited by several factors including methodological variability, small sample sizes, and inconsistent validation. Large-scale, standardized investigations are needed to confirm early findings and facilitate translation into clinical practice.
