piRNA-36741 regulates BMP2-mediated osteoblast differentiation via METTL3 controlled m6A modification.

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.
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
The osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) is essential for bone formation, and its imbalance can lead to bone diseases such as osteoporosis. It is reported that PIWI-interacting RNA-36741 (piR-36741) is up-regulated during the osteogenic differentiation, but its role in regulating osteogenic differentiation remains unclear. Here, the primary human BMSCs were used to induce osteogenic differentiation, and the expression of piR-36741 and METTL3 (methyltransferase like 3) was up-regulated during the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs. Moreover, interference with piR-36741 or METTL3 markedly hindered the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs, which was manifested by a reduction in osteoblast marker expression (including RUNX2, COL1A1, OPN and OCN), osteogenic phenotype and matrix mineralization. Mechanistically, the piR-36741-PIWIL4 complex directly interacted with METTL3 and prevented METTL3-mediated m6A modification of BMP2 mRNA transcripts, thereby promoting BMP2 expression. And overexpression of BMP2 reversed the inhibitory effect of piR-36741 silence on osteogenic differentiation and the Smad pathway activity. In addition, administration with piR-36741 mimic alleviated ovariectomy-induced osteoporosis in mice. In conclusion, piRNA-36741 overexpression promoted osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs and mitigated ovariectomy-induced osteoporosis through METTL3-mediated m6A methylation of BMP2 transcripts.
