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

The serotonin receptor 2C (HTR2C) gene encodes a G protein-coupled receptor that is exclusively expressed in neurons. Here, we report that the 5' untranslated region of the receptor pre-mRNA as well as its hosted miRNAs is widely expressed in non-neuronal cell lines. Alternative splicing of HTR2C is regulated by MBII-52. MBII-52 and the neighboring MBII-85 cluster are absent in people with Prader-Willi syndrome, which likely causes the disease. We show that MBII-52 and MBII-85 increase expression of the HTR2C 5' UTR and influence expression of the hosted miRNAs. The data indicate that the transcriptional unit expressing HTR2C is more complex than previously recognized and likely deregulated in Prader-Willi syndrome.
