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

The nucleus pulposus is in a hypoxic environment in the human body, and when intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) occurs, the hypoxic environment is disrupted. Nucleus pulposus cell (NPC) ferroptosis is one of the causes of IVDD. N6-methyladenosine (m6A) and its reader protein YTHDF1 regulate cellular activities by affecting RNA metabolism. However, the regulation of ferroptosis in NPCs by m6A-modified RNAs under hypoxic conditions has not been as well studied. In this study, through in vitro and in vivo experiments, we explored the underlying mechanism of HIF-1α and YTHDF1 in regulating ferroptosis in NPCs. The results indicated that the overexpression of HIF-1α or YTHDF1 suppressed NPC ferroptosis; conversely, the knockdown of HIF-1α or YTHDF1 increased ferroptosis levels in NPCs. Luciferase reporter assays and chromatin immunoprecipitation demonstrated that HIF-1α regulated YTHDF1 transcription by directly binding to its promoter region. Polysome profiling results showed that YTHDF1 promoted the translation of SLC7A11 and consequently the expression of the anti-ferroptosis protein GPX4 by binding to m6A-modified SLC7A11 mRNA. In conclusion, HIF-1α-induced YTHDF1 expression reduces NPC ferroptosis and delays IVDD by promoting SLC7A11 translation in a m6A-dependent manner.
