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

Porcine fat deposition is an important economic trait of pig breeds, and understanding the gene regulatory network in adipocytes is essential for modern pig breeding. In a previous study, we demonstrated that miR-29a negatively regulates the differentiation of porcine adipocytes. In this study, we investigated the roles of miR-29b/c in porcine adipocytes and the underlying mechanisms. Using EdU staining and the CCK-8 assay, we observed that transfection with the miR-29b/c agomir promoted the proliferation of porcine intramuscular (IM) and subcutaneous (SC) adipocytes by altering the expression of cell-cycle-related genes. According to the results of oil red O staining and western blot analysis, transfection with the miR-29b/c agomir suppressed the differentiation of porcine SC and IM adipocytes via the AKT/PKA/MAPK signalling pathway. Furthermore, we proved that miR-29b/c regulates porcine adipocytes by directly targeting the 3'-untranslated region (3'UTR) of CTRP6 using a dual-luciferase reporter assay. Finally, co-transfection with miR-29b/c and CTRP6 partially restored the changes of phenotype and gene expression induced by miR-29b/c overexpression in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Taken together, our data demonstrate that both miR-29b and miR-29 c negatively regulate porcine adipogenesis by targeting CTRP6, which furthers our understanding of the gene network that regulates fat deposition in pigs.
