UVB radiation suppresses Dicer expression through β-catenin.
Article in Journal of cell science, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Ultraviolet (UV) rays prompt a natural response in epidermal cells, particularly within melanocytes. The changes in gene expression and related signaling pathways in melanocytes following exposure to UV radiation are still not entirely understood. Our findings reveal that UVB irradiation suppresses the expression of Dicer (also known as Dicer1). This repression is intricately linked to the activation of the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K), ribosomal S6 kinase (RSK) and Wnt-β-catenin signaling pathways, and is directly associated with transcriptional repression by β-catenin (also known as CTNNB1). Notably, we have identified specific binding sites for the TCF/LEF-β-catenin complex in the Dicer promoter. Collectively, these results emphasize the significance of the UV-induced pathway involving the TCF/LEF-β-catenin complex, which impacts Dicer expression. UV radiation also reduced the levels of specific microRNAs known to be important in the biology of melanocytes. This pathway holds potential importance in governing melanocyte physiology.
