Role of miR-34c microRNA in the late steps of spermatogenesis.

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
Spermatogenesis is a cyclic process in which diploid spermatogonia differentiate into haploid spermatozoa. This process is highly regulated, notably at the post-transcriptional level. MicroRNAs (miRNAs), single-stranded noncoding RNA molecules of about 20-25 nucleotides, are implicated in the regulation of many important biological pathways such as proliferation, apoptosis, and differentiation. We wondered whether miRNAs could play a role during spermatogenesis. The miRNA expression repertoire was tested in germ cells, and we present data showing that miR-34c was highly expressed only in these cells. Furthermore, our findings indicate that in male gonads, miR-34c expression is largely p53 independent in contrast to previous results showing a direct link in somatic cells between the miR-34 family and this tumor suppressor protein. In order to identify target genes involved in germinal lineage differentiation, we overexpressed miR-34c in HeLa cells, analyzed the transcriptome of these modified cells, and noticed a shift of the expression profile toward the germinal lineage. Recently, it has been shown that exogenous expression of Ddx4/Vasa in embryonic chicken stem cells (cESC) induces cESC reprogramming toward a germ cell fate. When we simultaneously expressed miR-34c in such cells, we could detect an up-regulation of germ cell-specific genes whereas the expression of other lineage specific markers remained unchanged. These data suggest that miR-34c could play a role by enhancing the germinal phenotype of cells already committed to this lineage.
