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

Background: Transient receptor potential melastatin 4 (TRPM4) affects immune responses by regulating calcium homeostasis, but its role in calcific aortic valve inflammation remains unclear. This study aimed to assess the expression and function of TRPM4 in patients with or without calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD). Methods: The mRNA and protein expression levels of TRPM4 and related factors in calcified and noncalcified tissues were measured using qRT-PCR and Western blot. The proteins interacting with TRPM4 were confirmed by RNA pull-down and RNA immunoprecipitation assays. Dual-Luciferase Reporter Assay was performed to confirm the m6A site of TRPM4. Results: The mRNA expression levels of TRPM4, TLR4, IL-6, MCP-1, TNF-α, and NF-κB p65 were significantly higher in calcified aortic valve tissues than in noncalcified tissues, and TRPM4 was significantly positively correlated with inflammation-related factors. The protein expression level of TRPM4, TLR4 and NF-κB p65 were significantly higher in calcified aortic valve tissues than in noncalcified tissues. N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification of TRPM4 mRNA by METTL3-YTHDF1 up-regulated its expression in CAVD. And TRPM4 promoted the level of inflammation via activation of the JNK-MAPK signaling pathway, after knockdown TRPM4, the production of proinflammatory cytokines was significantly suppressed. Conclusion: The results indicate the pivotal role of TRPM4 in CAVD and highlight METTL3-mediated m6A modification of TRPM4 in promoting inflammation through JNK-MAPK signaling pathway. This work provides potential therapeutic strategy to impede inflammation in CAVD.
