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

Regulation of gene expression during muscle development and disease remains incompletely understood. microRNAs are a class of small non-coding RNAs that regulate gene expression and function post-transcriptionally. The poly(C)-binding protein1 (Pcbp1, hnRNP-E1, or αCP-1) is an RNA-binding protein that has been reported to bind the 3'-UTRs of target genes to regulate mRNA stability and protein translation. However, Pcbp1's biological function and the general mechanism of action remain largely undetermined. Here, we report that Pcbp1 is a component of the miRNA-processing pathway that regulates miRNA biogenesis. siRNA-based inhibition of Pcbp1 in mouse skeletal muscle myoblasts led to dysregulated cellular proliferation and differentiation. We also found that Pcbp1 null mutant mice exhibit early embryonic lethality, indicating that Pcbp1 is indispensable for embryonic development. Interestingly, hypomorphic Pcbp1 mutant mice displayed defects in muscle growth due to defects in the proliferation and differentiation of myoblasts and muscle satellite cells, in addition to a slow to fast myofibril switch. Moreover, Pcbp1 modulated the processing of muscle-enriched miR-1, miR-133, and miR-206 by physically interacting with argonaute 2 (AGO2) and other miRNA pathway components. Our study, therefore, uncovers the important function of Pcbp1 in skeletal muscle and the microRNA pathway, signifying its potential as a therapeutic target for muscle disease.
