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

Skeletal muscle stem cells (also known as satellite cells [SCs]) are essential for muscle regeneration and the regenerative activities of SCs are intrinsically governed by gene regulatory mechanisms, but the post-transcriptional regulation in SCs remains largely unknown. N(6)-methyladenosine (m6A) modification of RNAs is the most pervasive and highly conserved RNA modification in eukaryotic cells; it exerts powerful impact on almost all aspects of mRNA processing that is mainly endowed by its binding with m6A reader proteins. In this study, we investigate the previously uncharacterized regulatory roles of YTHDC1, an m6A reader in mouse SCs. Our results demonstrate that YTHDC1 is an essential regulator of SC activation and proliferation upon acute injury-induced muscle regeneration. The induction of YTHDC1 is indispensable for SC activation and proliferation; thus, inducible YTHDC1 depletion almost abolishes SC regenerative capacity. Mechanistically, transcriptome-wide profiling using LACE-seq in both SCs and mouse C2C12 myoblasts identifies m6A-mediated binding targets of YTHDC1. Next, splicing analysis defines splicing mRNA targets of m6A-YTHDC1. Furthermore, nuclear export analysis also leads to the identification of potential mRNA export targets of m6A-YTHDC1 in SCs and C2C12 myoblasts;interestingly, some mRNAs can be regulated at both splicing and export levels. Lastly, we map YTHDC1 interacting protein partners in myoblasts and unveil a myriad of factors governing mRNA splicing, nuclear export, and transcription, among which hnRNPG appears to be a bona fide interacting partner of YTHDC1. Altogether, our findings uncover YTHDC1 as an essential factor controlling SC regenerative ability through multifaceted gene regulatory mechanisms in mouse myoblast cells.
