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

Background: Buffalo meat is increasingly widely accepted for consumption as it shares several quality attributes with cattle meat (beef). Hence, there is a huge opportunity for growth in the buffalo meat industry. However, buffalo meat has relatively low intramuscular fat (IMF) content, affecting its flavor, tenderness and juiciness. As there is a dearth of information on factors that control fat deposition, this study was undertaken to provide new candidate factor associated with buffalo fat deposition. Circular RNA (circRNA) is a novel class of non-coding RNA with a closed-loop structure, and play an important role in fat deposition. Methods: In this study, weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) was used to construct a circRNA co-expression network and revealed a candidate circRNA that may affect the IMF deposition of buffalo as determined by RT-qPCR, semiquantitative PCR and gain-of-function experiments. Results: Herein, WGCNA determined that one module (turquoise module) is significantly associated with the growth and development stages of buffalo. Further analysis revealed a total of 191 overlapping circRNAs among differentially expressed (DE) circRNAs and the co-expression module. A candidate circRNA was found, 21:6969877|69753491 (circRNA_ID), with a reported involvement in lipid metabolism. This circRNA is stably expressed and originates from the Conclusion: These results indicate that circMARK3 is a potential factor that promotes fat deposition by regulating adipocyte differentiation and adipogenesis in buffalo.
