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

backgroundSpinal cord injury (SCI) occurs as a devastating neuropathic disease. The role of serine-threonine kinase 10 (STK10) in the development of SCI remains unclear.

objectiveThis study aimed to investigate the action of m6A methylation on STK10 in the apoptosis of spinal cord neurons in the pathogenesis of SCI and the possible underlying mechanisms.

methodsRat model of SCI was established and subsequently evaluated for motor function, pathological conditions, and apoptosis of spinal cord neurons. And the effects of overexpression of STK10 on neuronal cells in animal models of spinal cord injury and glyoxylate deprivation (OGD) cell models were evaluated. m6A2Target database and SRAMP database were used to predict the m6A methylation sites of STK10. The methylation kits were used to detect overall m6A methylation. Finally, the interaction between STK10 and vir like m6A methyltransferase associated (VIRMA) was explored in animal and cellular models.

resultsSTK10 is markedly decreased in spinal cord injury models and overexpression of STK10 inhibits neuronal apoptosis. VIRMA can induce m6A methylation of STK10. VIRMA is over-expressed in spinal cord injury models and negatively regulates the expression of STK10. m6A methylation and apoptosis of neuronal cells are reduced by the knockdown of VIRMA and STK10 shRNA have shown the opposite effects.

conclusionsVIRMA promotes neuronal apoptosis in spinal cord injury by regulating STK10 m6A methylation.
