EIF4A3-Induced Circular RNA CircDdb1 Promotes Muscle Atrophy through Encoding a Novel Protein CircDdb1-867aa.
Article in Advanced science (Weinheim, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers.
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.
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
Little is known about if and how circular RNAs (circRNAs) are involved in skeletal muscle atrophy. Here a conserved circular RNA Damage-specific DNA binding protein 1 (circDdb1), derived from the host gene encoding Damage-specific DNA binding protein 1 (DDB1), as a mechanism of muscle atrophy is identified. circDdb1 expression is markedly increased in a variety of muscle atrophy types in vivo and in vitro, and human aging muscle. Both in vivo and in vitro, ectopic expression of circDdb1 causes muscle atrophy. In contrast, multiple forms of muscle atrophy caused by dexamethasone, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), or angiotensin II (Ang II) in myotube cells, as well as by denervation, angiotensin II, and immobility in mice, are prevented by circDdb1 inhibition. Eukaryotic initiation factor 4A3 (EIF4A3) is identified as a regulator of circDdb1 expression in muscle atrophy, whereas circDdb1 encodes a novel protein, circDdb1-867aa. circDdb1-867aa binds with and increases the phosphorylation level of eukaryotic elongation factor 2 (eEF2) at Thr56 to reduce protein translation and promote muscle atrophy. In summary, these findings establish circDdb1 as a shared regulator of muscle atrophy across multiple diseases and a potential therapeutic target.
