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

Muscle development is regulated under a series of complicate processes, and non-coding RNAs, such as microRNAs (miRNAs) and circular RNAs (circRNAs), have been reported to play important roles in regulating myoblast proliferation and differentiation. We found that miR-107 expression was high in skeletal muscle of Qinchuan cattle. Overexpression of miR-107 inhibited bovine myoblasts differentiation and protected cells from apoptosis. Wnt3a was identified as a target of miR-107 by luciferase activity, real-time qPCR, and western blotting assays. Knockdown of Wnt3a inhibited bovine myoblasts differentiation and apoptosis, and this effect was similar to miR-107 overexpression. We also found circFGFR4 to promote myoblasts differentiation and to induce cell apoptosis. Via luciferase screening and RNA pull-down assays, circFGFR4 was observed to sponge miR-107. Overexpression of circFGFR4 increased the expression of Wnt3a, whereas this effect was abolished by miR-107. These results demonstrated that circFGFR4 binding miR-107 promotes cell differentiation via targeting Wnt3a in bovine primary myoblasts.
