Altered mRNA and lncRNA expression profiles in the striated muscle complex of anorectal malformation rats.
Article in Pediatric surgery international, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundStriated muscle complex (SMC) dysplasia has been confirmed to contribute to postoperative defecation dysfunction of patients with anorectal malformations (ARMs). To date, the potential molecular mechanisms of SMC dysplasia underlying the development of ARMs have not been clearly explained. This study examined the expression profiles of mRNAs and lncRNAs in the malformed SMC of ARM rats using RNA sequencing (RNA-seq).
methodsA rat model of ARMs was established by the intragastric administration of 1% ethylene thiourea (ETU) on an embryonic day 10 (E10). The rats were subjected to euthanasia and the SMC samples were collected on E19. The expression of mRNAs and lncRNAs was analyzed by RNA-seq on the Illumina HiSeq2500 platform. qRT-PCR was used to confirm the results of RNA-seq.
resultsCompared with the levels in control rats, 1408 mRNAs and 472 lncRNAs were differentially expressed in the SMC of E19 ARM rats. GO and KEGG pathway analyses showed that the top enriched GO terms were mainly related to muscle development and the enriched pathways were associated with muscle and synaptic development. Protein-protein interaction network analysis was also performed using the STRING database. The network map revealed the interaction between the WNT3 protein and NTRK1, NTF4, MUSK, and BMP5 proteins. Finally, the qRT-PCR results further confirmed the RNA-seq data.
conclusionOur findings indicate the involvement of these dysregulated mRNAs and lncRNAs in the pathogenesis of SMC dysplasia in ARMs, providing a theoretical foundation for developing interventions to improve postoperative defecation function.
