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

N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most prevalent internal modification found in mRNAs and lncRNA and plays a vital role in posttranscriptional regulation in mammals. m6A is abundant in the nervous system, where it modulates neuronal development and hippocampus-dependent learning and memory. However, the roles of RNAs m6A modification and its related enzymes in cocaine reward are still not fully understood. In this study, we found that the fat mass and obesity-associated gene (FTO) demethylase, but not methyltransferase-like 3 (METTL3) and 14 (METTL14), was downregulated in the hippocampus following cocaine-induced conditioned place preference (CPP), and the level of m6A is notably higher in the hippocampus of cocaine CPP training mice. Using methylated m6A RNA immunoprecipitation sequencing (MeRIP-m6A-seq), we identified a total of 6516 m6A peaks within 4460 mRNAs, and 3083 m6A peaks within 850 lncRNAs were significantly dysregulated. Intriguingly, the altered m6A peaks within mRNAs and lncRNAs were enriched in synapse maturation and localization processes. Our study uncovers a critical role for an m6A epitranscriptomic dysregulation and downregulation of FTO expression in the hippocampus following cocaine-induced CPP.
