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

MiR-133a is a muscle-enriched miRNA, which plays a key role for proper skeletal and cardiac muscle function via regulation of transduction cascades, including the Wnt signalling. MiR-133a modulates its targets via canonical mRNA repression, a process that has been largely demonstrated to occur within the cytoplasm. However, recent evidence has shown that miRNAs play additional roles in other sub-cellular compartments, such as nuclei. Here, we show that miR-133a translocates to the nucleus of cardiac cells following inactivation of the canonical Wnt pathway. The nuclear miR-133a/AGO2 complex binds to a complementary miR-133a target site within the promoter of the de novo DNA methyltransferase 3B (Dnmt3b) gene, leading to its transcriptional repression, which is mediated by DNMT3B itself. Altogether, these data show an unconventional role of miR-133a that upon its relocalization to the nucleus is responsible for epigenetic repression of its target gene Dnmt3b via a DNMT3B self-regulatory negative feedback loop.
