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

N6-adenosine methylation (m6A) of RNA is involved in the regulation of various diseases. However, its role in chemotherapy-related vascular endothelial injury has not yet been elucidated. We found that methyltransferase-like 3 (METTL3) expression was significantly reduced during doxorubicin (DOX)-induced apoptosis of vascular endothelial cells both in vivo and in vitro, and that silencing of METTL3 further intensified this process. Combined transcriptome and proteome sequencing analyses revealed that the expression levels of interferon-stimulated gene 15 (ISG15) mRNA and protein significantly increased after METTL3 silencing. Methylated RNA immunoprecipitation (meRIP)-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and mRNA stability assays confirmed that METTL3 regulates the expression of ISG15 by methylating the 1,014,147 site on ISG15 RNA, thereby decreasing ISG15 mRNA levels. Silencing ISG15 significantly suppressed DOX-induced endothelial cell apoptosis and dysfunction caused by METTL3 silencing. In summary, our study revealed that METTL3-mediated methylation of ISG15 mRNA is involved in DOX-induced endothelial cell apoptosis and explored potential therapeutic targets for alleviating chemotherapy-associated vascular injury.
