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

3-Methylcytidine (m3C), a prevalent modification of transfer RNAs (tRNAs), was recently identified in eukaryotic messenger RNAs (mRNAs). However, its precise distribution and formation mechanisms in mRNAs remain elusive. Here, we develop a novel approach, m3C immunoprecipitation and sequencing (m3C-IP-seq), utilizing antibody enrichment to profile the m3C methylome at single-nucleotide resolution. m3C-IP-seq captures 12 cytoplasmic tRNA isoacceptors and 2 mitochondrial tRNA isoacceptors containing m3C modifications. Moreover, m3C-IP-seq permits the comprehensive profiling of m3C sites in mRNAs and long noncoding RNAs, with their presence reliant on a nuclear isoform of METTL8. A significant proportion of m3C sites is concentrated in the 3' untranslated region (3' UTR) of mRNAs and is associated with mRNA degradation. Additionally, m3C methylation is dynamic and responds to hypoxia. Collectively, our data demonstrate the widespread presence of m3C modification in the human transcriptome and provide a resource for functional studies of m3C-mediated RNA metabolism.
