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

RNA modification, like DNA methylation, histone modification, non-coding RNA modification and chromatin rearrangement, plays an important role in tumours. N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most abundant RNA modification in cells, and it regulates RNA transcription, processing, splicing, degradation, and translation. m6A-associated proteins have been used as new biomarkers and therapeutic targets for tumour prediction and monitoring. There are three main types of proteins involved in m6A methylation: methyltransferases (METTL3, METTL14, WTAP, RBM15, ZC3H13 and KIAA1429), demethylases (FTO, ALKBH5 and ALKBH3) and RNA-binding proteins (YTHDF1-3, YTHDC1-2, IGF2BPs and HNRNPs). This article reviews the origins, characteristics and functions of m6A and its relationship with digestive system tumours based on recent research. The expression of m6A regulators can be used as an evaluation indicator of tumour growth and progression and as a prognostic indicator. In-depth research on m6A methylation in digestive system tumours may provide new directions for clinical prediction and further treatment.
