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

NAT10-catalyzed N4-acetylcytidine (ac4C) has emerged as a vital post-transcriptional modulator on the coding transcriptome by promoting mRNA stability. However, its role in mammalian development remains unclear. Here, we found that NAT10 expression positively correlates with pluripotency in vivo and in vitro. High throughput ac4C-targeted RNA immunoprecipitation sequencing (ac4C-RIP-seq), NaCNBH3-based chemical ac4C sequencing (ac4C-seq) and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) assays revealed noticeable ac4C modifications in transcriptome of hESCs, among which transcripts encoding core pluripotency transcription factors are favorable targets of ac4C modification. Further validation assays demonstrate that genetic inactivation of NAT10, the ac4C writer enzyme, led to ac4C level decrease on target genes, promoted the core pluripotency regulator OCT4 (POU5F1) transcript decay, and finally impaired self-renewal and promoted early differentiation in hESCs. Together, our work presented here elucidates a previously unrecognized interconnectivity between the core pluripotent transcriptional network for the maintenance of human ESC self-renewal and NAT10-catalyzed ac4C RNA epigenetic modification.
