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

N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is an abundant mRNA modification that affects multiple biological processes, including those involved in the cell stress response and viral infection. YTH domain family 2 (YTHDF2) is an m6A-binding protein that affects the localization and stability of targeted mRNA. RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) can regulate the stability of inflammatory gene mRNA transcripts, thus participating in the regulation of inflammatory processes. As an RBP, the role of YTHDF2 in the LPS-induced inflammatory reaction has not been reported. To elucidate the function of YTHDF2 in the inflammatory response of macrophages, we first detected the expression level of YTHDF2 in RAW 264.7 cells, and found that it was upregulated after LPS stimulation. YTHDF2 knockdown significantly increased the LPS-induced IL-6, TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-12 expression and the phosphorylation of p65, p38, and ERK1/2 in NF-κB and MAPK signaling. Moreover, the upregulated expression of TNF-α and IL-6 in cells with silenced YTHDF2 expression was downregulated by the NF-κB, p38, and ERK inhibitors. YTHDF2 depletion increased the expression and stability of MAP2K4 and MAP4K4 mRNAs. All of these results suggest that YTHDF2 knockdown increases mRNA expression levels of MAP2K4 and MAP4K4 via stabilizing the mRNA transcripts, which activate MAPK and NF-κB signaling pathways, which promote the expression of proinflammatory cytokines and aggravate the inflammatory response in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells.
