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 branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) play a key role in the energy metabolism of the muscle tissue and the Krüppel-like factor 15 (KLF15) as a transcription factor, which is a key regulator of BCAA metabolism in the skeletal muscle. This study assessed the effect of starvation for 0, 3, 7, and 15 days on BCAA metabolism in the skeletal muscle of Nile tilapia. The results showed that the expression of KLF15 showed a trend of increasing first and then decreasing during starvation, as well as the expression and activity of branched-chain aminotransferase 2 (BCAT2) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT). On the other hand, the content of BCAA was at first decreased and then upregulated, and it reached the lowest level after starvation for 3 days. In addition, through dual-luciferase reporter assay and injection experiments, it was found that KLF15 is the target gene of miR-125a-3p, which further verified that miR-125a-3p can regulate the BCAA metabolism by targeting KLF15 in the skeletal muscle. Thus, our work investigated the possible mechanisms of BCAA metabolism adapting to nutritional deficiency in the skeletal muscle of Nile tilapia and illustrated the regulation of BCAA metabolism through the miR-125a-3p-KLF15-BCAA pathway in the skeletal muscle.
