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

backgroundm(6)A is a ubiquitous RNA modification in eukaryotes. Transcriptome-wide m(6)A patterns in Arabidopsis have been assayed recently. However, differential m(6)A patterns between organs have not been well characterized.

resultsOver two-third of the transcripts in Arabidopsis are modified by m(6)A. In contrast to a recent observation of m(6)A enrichment in 5' mRNA, we find that m(6)A is distributed predominantly near stop codons. Interestingly, 85 % of the modified transcripts show high m(6)A methylation extent compared to their transcript level. The 290 highly methylated transcripts are mainly associated with transporters, stress responses, redox, regulation factors, and some non-coding RNAs. On average, the proportion of transcripts showing differential methylation between two plant organs is higher than that showing differential transcript levels. The transcripts with extensively higher m(6)A methylation in an organ are associated with the unique biological processes of this organ, suggesting that m(6)A may be another important contributor to organ differentiation in Arabidopsis. Highly expressed genes are relatively less methylated and vice versa, and different RNAs have distinct m(6)A patterns, which hint at mRNA fate. Intriguingly, most of the transposable element transcripts maintained a fragmented form with a relatively low transcript level and high m(6)A methylation in the cells.

conclusionsThis is the first study to comprehensively analyze m(6)A patterns in a variety of RNAs, the relationship between transcript level and m(6)A methylation extent, and differential m(6)A patterns across organs in Arabidopsis.
