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) RNA methylation is an emerging area of epigenetics, which is a reversible and dynamic modification mediating by 'writers' (methylase, adding methyl groups, METTL3, METTL14, and WTAP), 'erasers' (demethylase, deleting methyl groups, FTO and ALKBH5), and 'readers' (YTHDF1-3, YTHDC1 and YTHDC2). Recent studies in human, animal models and cell levels have disclosed a critical role of m6A modification in regulating the homeostasis of metabolic processes and cardiovascular function. Evidence from these studies identify m6A as a candidate of biomarker and therapeutic target for metabolic abnormality and cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Comprehensive understanding of the complexity of m6A regulation in metabolic diseases and CVD will be helpful for us to understand the pathogenesis of CVD. In this review, we discuss the regulatory role of m6A in metabolic abnormality and CVD. We will emphasize the clinical relevance of m6A dysregulation in CVD.
