N6-methyladenosine-related single-nucleotide polymorphism analyses identify oncogene RNFT2 in bladder cancer.
Article in Cancer cell international, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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.
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
backgroundSingle-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in N6-methyladenosine (m6A) related genetic locus play significant roles in tumorigenesis and development. The expression level of many oncogenes and tumour suppressor genes changed because of m6A-associated SNPs. In addition, the relationship between m6A-SNP and bladder cancer (BCa) has not been well studied.
methodsWe screened m6A-SNPs in BCa by combining m6A-SNPs data and GWAS-SNPs data. Expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) and differential expression gene (DEGs) analyses were performed. In ring finger protein, transmembrane 2 (RNFT2), rs3088107 (C > G) was found to have significant eQTL signals and make RNFT2 gene differentially-regulated mostly in BCa. We validated the expression level of RNFT2 in 32 pairs of BCa tissues and eight BCa cell lines by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). Functional assays were performed to investigate the role of rs3088107 and RNFT2 in BCa in vitro.
resultsWe identified 673 m6A-SNPs, which were associated with BCa. Of these m6A-SNPs, 221 showed eQTL signals, amongst which, rs3088107 in RNFT2 showed significant eQTL signals. Results of bioinformatic analyses showed that 11 genes with m6A-SNPs had a differential expression level in BCa. RNFT2 was predicted to be significantly up-regulated in BCa. The qRT-PCR results validated that RNFT2 was highly expressed in our own BCa tissues and cell lines. High expression of RNFT2 also indicated a worse overall survival. We also revealed that rs3088107 (C > G) could inhibit the expression and m6A modification of RNFT2 by qRT-PCR, western-blot and m6A-RIP assays. Moreover, the results of functional assays indicated that RNFT2 promoted BCa cell proliferation and migration.
conclusionThis research found that m6A-SNPs were associated with oncogene RNFT2 in BCa. Furthermore, m6A-SNPs showed great application potential as a new BCa diagnostic biomarker and prognostic indicator.
