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

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a class of noncoding RNAs that have been found to be involved in intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) progression, and N6-methyladenosine (m6A) broadly exists in circRNAs. Here, we identified circGPATCH2L with a low m6A methylation level to be upregulated in degenerative nucleus pulposus tissues. Mechanistically, as a protein decoy for tripartite motif containing 28 (TRIM28) within aa 402-452 region, circGPATCH2L abrogates the phosphorylation of TRIM28 and inhibits P53 degradation, which contributes to DNA damage accumulation and cellular apoptosis and leads to IVDD progression. Moreover, m6A-methylated circGPATCH2L is recognised and endoribonucleolytically cleaved by a YTHDF2-RPL10-RNase P/MRP complex to maintain the physiological state of nucleus pulposus cells. Thus, our data show the physiological significance of m6A modification in regulating circRNA abundance and provide a potentially effective therapeutic target for the treatment of IVDD.
