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

This study investigated the role of N6-methyladenosine RNA methylation in liver regeneration following partial hepatectomy in mice. We created a liver-specific knockout mouse model by the deletion of Mettl3, a key component of the N6-methyladenosine methyltransferase complex, using the albumin-Cre system. Mettl3 liver-specific knockout mice and their wild-type littermates were subjected to 2/3 partial hepatectomy. Transcriptomic changes in liver tissue at 48 h after partial hepatectomy were detected by RNA-seq. Immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence were used to determine protein expression levels of Ki67, hepatocyte nuclear factor 4 alpha, and cytokeratin 19. Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated deoxyuridine triphosphate nick-end labeling was also performed. Liver weight/body weight ratios after partial hepatectomy were significantly lower in Mettl3 liver-specific knockout mice than in wild-type mice at 48 h after 2/3 partial hepatectomy (3.1% ± 0.11%
