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 one of the most plentiful internal RNA modifications, especially in eukaryotic messenger RNA (mRNA), which plays pivotal roles in the regulation of mRNA life cycle and nerve development. However, the mRNA m6A methylation pattern in peripheral nervous injury (PNI) has not been investigated. In this study, sciatic nerve samples were collected from 7 days after sciatic nerve injury (SNI) and control rats. Quantitative real-time PCR demonstrated that m6A-related methyltransferase/demethylase genes were remarkably upregulated in SNI group compared with control group. Methylated RNA immunoprecipitation sequencing (MeRIP-seq) was performed to reveal the m6A methylation landscape. The results showed that 4,014 m6A peaks were significantly altered, including 2,144 upregulated and 1,870 downregulated m6A peaks, which were corresponded to 1,858 genes. Moreover, 919 differentially expressed genes were identified by the conjoint analysis of MeRIP-seq and RNA-seq. GO and KEGG pathway analyses were performed to determine the biological functions and signaling pathways of the m6A-modified genes. Notably, these genes were mainly related to the immune system process, cell activation, and nervous system development in GO analysis. KEGG pathway analysis revealed that these genes were involved in the cell cycle, B cell receptor signaling pathway, axon guidance pathway, and calcium signaling pathway. Furthermore, the m6A methylation and protein expression levels of autophagy-related gene (
