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-methyladenosine (m6A) and its reader proteins are involved in pre-mRNA processing and play a variety of roles in numerous biological processes. However, much remains to be understood about the regulation of m6A and the function of its specific readers during meiotic processes. Here, this study shows that the potential m6A reader protein hnRNPC is essential for both male and female meiosis in mice. Germ cell-specific knockout of Hnrnpc causes meiotic arrest at pachynema in male mice. Specifically, hnRNPC-deficient males show abnormal meiosis initiation and defective meiotic progression, ultimately leading to meiotic arrest at the pachytene stage. Interestingly, hnRNPC-null females show similar meiotic defects to males. Mechanistically, this study discovers that in male germ cells, hnRNPC works with HuR to directly bind and modulate alternative splicing of meiotic-related genes (e.g., Sycp1, Brca1, and Smc5) in an m6A-dependent manner during spermatogenesis. Collectively, these findings reveal hnRNPC as a critical factor for meiosis and contribute to a mechanistic understanding of the hnRNPC-HuR interaction in alternative splicing of mRNAs during germ cell development.
