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 transition from dividing progenitors to postmitotic motor neurons (MNs) is orchestrated by a series of events, which are mainly studied at the transcriptional level by analyzing the activity of specific programming transcription factors. Here, we identify a post-transcriptional role of a MN-specific transcriptional unit (MN2) harboring a lncRNA (lncMN2-203) and two miRNAs (miR-325-3p and miR-384-5p) in this transition. Through the use of in vitro mESC differentiation and single-cell sequencing of CRISPR/Cas9 mutants, we demonstrate that lncMN2-203 affects MN differentiation by sponging miR-466i-5p and upregulating its targets, including several factors involved in neuronal differentiation and function. In parallel, miR-325-3p and miR-384-5p, co-transcribed with lncMN2-203, act by repressing proliferation-related factors. These findings indicate the functional relevance of the MN2 locus and exemplify additional layers of specificity regulation in MN differentiation.
