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

Methyltransferases play essential roles in modulating important cellular and metabolic processes. A mouse putative N6-DNA methyltransferase gene (GenBank No AY456393) is a novel gene named mN6amt1(mN6A1). To investigate its function in cell fate and protein translation, RNA interference (RNAi)-mediated knock-down method was established. Cell cycle analysis suggests that the cell proliferation decreases after RNAi with mN6A1. The expression plasmid of luciferase was used to detect protein translation, and the results showed that luciferase expression decreased after RNAi with mN6A1, whereas increased after over-expression of mN6A1 or/and eRF1. The binding between mN6A1 and eRF1 was identified by co-immunoprecipitation and pull-down experiments. It might be suggested that mN6A1 participates in protein translation through interaction with eRF1.
