The Long Non-coding RNA Cyrano Is Dispensable for Pluripotency of Murine and Human Pluripotent Stem Cells.
Article in Stem cell reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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.
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
Pluripotency is tightly regulated and is crucial for stem cells and their implementation for regenerative medicine. Non-coding RNAs, especially long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) emerged as orchestrators of versatile (patho)-physiological processes on the transcriptional and post-transcriptional level. Cyrano, a well-conserved lncRNA, is highly expressed in stem cells suggesting an important role in pluripotency, which we aimed to investigate in loss-off-function (LOF) experiments. Cyrano was described previously to be essential for the maintenance of mouse embryonic stem cell (ESC) pluripotency. In contrast, using different genetic models, we here found Cyrano to be dispensable in murine and human iPSCs and in human ESCs. RNA sequencing revealed only a moderate influence of Cyrano on the global transcriptome. In line, Cyrano-depleted iPSCs retained the potential to differentiate into the three germ layers. In conclusion, different methods were applied for LOF studies to rule out potential off-target effects. These approaches revealed that Cyrano does not impact pluripotency.
