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

The muscle specific miRNA, miR-206, is important for the process of myogenesis; however, studying the function of miR-206 in muscle development and differentiation still proves challenging because the complement of mRNA targets it regulates remains undefined. In addition, miR-206 shares close sequence similarity to miR-1, another muscle specific miRNA, making it hard to study the impact of miR-206 alone in cell culture models. Here we used CRISPR/Cas9 technology to knockout miR-206 in C2C12 muscle cells. We show that knocking out miR-206 significantly impairs and delays differentiation and myotube formation, revealing that miR-206 alone is important for myogenesis. In addition, we use an experimental affinity purification technique to identify new mRNA targets of miR-206 in C2C12 cells. We identified over one hundred mRNAs as putative miR-206 targets. Functional experiments on six of these targets indicate that Adam19, Bgn, Cbx5, Smarce1, and Spg20 are direct miR-206 targets in C2C12 cells. Our data show a unique and important role for miR-206 in myogenesis.
