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

Alternative splicing (AS) is tightly regulated during cell differentiation and development. AS events are prevalent in the testis, but the splicing regulation in spermatogenesis remains unclear. Here we report that the spliceosome component Bud31 plays a crucial role during spermatogenesis in mice. Germ cell-specific knockout of Bud31 led to loss of spermatogonia and to male infertility. We further demonstrate that Bud31 is required for both spermatogonial stem cell pool maintenance and the initiation of spermatogenesis. SMART-seq revealed that deletion of Bud31 in germ cells causes widespread exon-skipping and intron retention. Particularly, we identified Cdk2 as one of the direct splicing targets of Bud31, knockout of Bud31 resulted in retention of the first intron of Cdk2, which led to a decrease in Cdk2 expression. Our findings suggest that Bud31-mediated AS within spermatogonial stem cells regulates the self-renewal and differentiation of male germ cells in mammals.
