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

Wnt/β-catenin signaling is required for embryonic dermal fibroblast cell fate, and dysregulation of this pathway is sufficient to promote fibrosis in adult tissue. The downstream modulators of Wnt/β-catenin signaling required for controlling cell fate and dermal fibrosis remain poorly understood. The discovery of regulatory long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and their pivotal roles as key modulators of gene expression downstream of signaling cascades in various contexts prompted us to investigate their roles in Wnt/β-catenin signaling. Here, we have identified lncRNAs and protein-coding RNAs that are induced by β-catenin activity in mouse dermal fibroblasts using next generation RNA-sequencing. The differentially expressed protein-coding mRNAs are enriched for extracellular matrix proteins, glycoproteins, and cell adhesion, and many are also dysregulated in human fibrotic tissues. We identified 111 lncRNAs that are differentially expressed in response to activation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling. To further characterize the role of mouse lncRNAs in this pathway, we validated two novel Wnt signaling- Induced Non-Coding RNA (Wincr) transcripts referred to as
