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

The N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification is the most abundant posttranscriptional mRNA modification in mammalian cells and is dynamically modulated by a series of "writers," "erasers," and "readers." Studies have shown that m6A affects RNA metabolism in terms of RNA processing, nuclear export, translation, and decay. However, the role of the m6A modification in retinal microglial activation remains unclear. Here, we analyzed the single-cell RNA sequencing data of retinal cells from mice with uveitis and found that the m6A-binding protein YTH domain-containing 1 (YTHDC1) was significantly downregulated in retinal microglia in the context of uveitis. Further studies showed that YTHDC1 deficiency resulted in M1 microglial polarization, an increased inflammatory response and the promotion of microglial migration. Mechanistically, YTHDC1 maintained sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) mRNA stability, which reduced signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) phosphorylation, thus inhibiting microglial M1 polarization. Collectively, our data show that YTHDC1 is critical for microglial inflammatory response regulation and can serve as a target for the development of therapeutics for autogenic immune diseases.
