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

Objective: Epigenetic modifications in RNA are known to play critical roles in cell differentiation through regulating expressions of some key genes including members of the suppressor of cytokine signaling (SOCS) family. The present study aimed to unveil the relationship of SOCS mRNA methylation induced by methyltransferase like 3 (METTL3) with Graves' disease (GD). Methods: Differently expressed genes (DEG) in GD tissues were identified using microarray analysis and further validated using CD4 Results: High throughput microarrays revealed that METTL3 and SOCS molecules were aberrantly expressed in thyroid tissues and CD4 Conclusions: For the first time, the present study revealed the relationship between m6A modification and GD and indicated that METTL3 may be involved in the development of GD by inducing mRNA m6A methylation modification of SOCS family members.
