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: Regulators of n6-methyladenosine (m6A) RNA modification play important roles in many diseases; however, their involvement in Methods: We downloaded the Results: We identified 19 co-expressed genes closely related to FTO were identified, along with 206 related transcription factor regulatory genes and 589 miRNAs. Enrichment analyses suggested that these genes were involved in pathways related to the proliferation and oxidation of various immune cells, cellular senescence, and various tumors and immune cells, as well as cell cycle-related functions. GSEA revealed that PD-1, TH1, TH2, CTLA4, and other pathways were significantly enriched in patients with high FTO expression. GSVA indicated that the differentially enriched pathways were related to included amino acid metabolism, immunity, and infection. Correlation analysis of immune infiltration revealed that monocytes, M2 macrophages, resting mast cells, and neutrophils were present in normal and diseased samples. Differences in expression were observed between the groups. The western blotting and qPCR analyses confirmed that the protein expression of FTO was reduced in macrophages after infection with Conclusion: The m6A RNA methylation regulator FTO may serve as a potential diagnostic marker and therapeutic target, involved in the pathogenesis of
