Loss of PMFBP1 Disturbs Mouse Spermatogenesis by Downregulating HDAC3 Expression.
Article in Journal of assisted reproduction and genetics, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
purposePolyamine modulating factor 1 binding protein (PMFBP1) acts as a scaffold protein for the maintenance of sperm structure. The aim of this study was further to identify the new role and molecular mechanism of PMFBP1 during mouse spermatogenesis. METHODS AND
resultsWe identified a profile of proteins interacting with PMFBP1 by immunoprecipitation combined with mass spectrometry and demonstrated that class I histone deacetylases, particularly HDAC3 and chaperonin-containing TCP1 subunit 3 (CCT3), were potential interaction partners of PMFBP1 based on network analysis of protein-protein interactions and co-immunoprecipitation. Immunoblotting and immunochemistry assays showed that loss of Pmfbp1 would result in a decline in HDACs and change the proteomic profile of mouse testis, in which differently expressed proteins are associated with spermatogenesis and assembly of flagella, which was proved by proteomic analysis of testis tissue obtained from Pmfbp1
conclusionTaken together, this study indicates a previously unidentified molecular mechanism of PMFBP1 in spermatogenesis whereby PMFBP1 interacts with CCT3, affecting the expression of HDAC3, followed by the downregulation of RNF151 and RNF133, resulting in an abnormal phenotype of sperm beyond the headless sperm tails. These findings not only advance our understanding of the function of Pmfbp1 in mouse spermatogenesis but also provide a typical case for multi-omics analysis used in the functional annotation of specific genes.
