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 editing is widely involved in stem cell differentiation and development; however, RNA editing events during human cardiomyocyte differentiation have not yet been characterized and elucidated. Here, we identified genome-wide RNA editing sites and systemically characterized their genomic distribution during four stages of human cardiomyocyte differentiation. It was found that the expression level of ADAR1 affected the global number of adenosine to inosine (A-to-I) editing sites but not the editing degree. Next, we identified 43, 163, 544, and 141 RNA editing sites that contribute to changes in amino acid sequences, variation in alternative splicing, alterations in miRNA-target binding, and changes in gene expression, respectively. Generally, RNA editing showed a stage-specific pattern with 211 stage-shared editing sites. Interestingly, cardiac muscle contraction and heart-disease-related pathways were enriched by cardio-specific editing genes, emphasizing the connection between cardiomyocyte differentiation and heart diseases from the perspective of RNA editing. Finally, it was found that these RNA editing sites are also related to several congenital and noncongenital heart diseases. Together, our study provides a new perspective on cardiomyocyte differentiation and offers more opportunities to understand the mechanisms underlying cell fate determination, which can promote the development of cardiac regenerative medicine and therapies for human heart diseases.
