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

Spermatogenesis is the complex process of male germline development and requires coordinated interactions by multiple gene products that undergo strict developmental regulations. Increasing evidence has suggested that a number of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) may function as important regulatory molecules in various physiological and pathological processes by binding to specific proteins. Here, we identified a subset of QKI-5-binding lncRNAs in the mouse testis through the integrated analyses of RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP)-microarray and biological verification. Among the lncRNAs, we revealed that NONMMUT074098.2 (Lnc10), which was highly expressed in the spermatogonia and spermatocytes of the testis, interacted with QKI-5. Furthermore, Lnc10 depletion promoted germ cell apoptosis via the activation of p38 MAPK, whereas the simultaneous knockdown of QKI-5 could rescue the apoptotic phenotype and the activation of p38 MAPK, which were induced by the loss of Lnc10. These data indicated that the Lnc10-QKI-5 interaction was associated with the regulatory roles of QKI-5 and that the Lnc10-QKI-5 interaction inhibited the regulation of QKI-5 on the downstream p38 MAPK signaling pathway. Additionally, we functionally characterized the biological roles of Lnc10 and found that the knockdown of Lnc10 promoted the apoptosis of spermatogenic cells in vivo; this suggested that Lnc10 had an important biological role in mouse spermatogenesis. Thus, our study provides a potential strategy to investigate the biological significance of lncRNA-RBP interactions during male germline development.
