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

Growing evidence supports that N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification acts as a critical regulator involved in tumorigenesis at the mRNA level. However, the role of m6A modification at the noncoding RNA level remains largely unknown. We found that methyltransferase-like 14 (METTL14) was significantly downregulated in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) tissues (n = 580). Gain-of-function and loss-of-function experiments revealed that METTL14 attenuated the proliferation and migration ability of RCC cells in vivo and in vitro. The methylated RNA immunoprecipitation experiments identified that METTL14 decreased the expression of long noncoding RNA nuclear enriched abundant transcript 1_1 (NEAT1_1) in an m6A-dependent manner. Mechanistically, RNA pull-down assay and RNA immunoprecipitation identified NEAT1_1 directly bound to m6A reader YTH N6-methyladenosine RNA binding protein 2 (YTHDF2). Notably, YTHDF2 accelerated the degradation of NEAT1_1 by selectively recognizing METTL14-mediated m6A marks on NEAT1_1. Multivariate analysis suggested that METTL14 downregulation was associated with malignant characteristics and predicted poor prognosis in RCC patients. In conclusion, our results uncover a newly identified METTL14-YTHDF2-NEAT1_1 signaling axis, which facilitates RCC growth and metastasis and provides fresh insight into RCC therapy.
