Role of METTL16 in PPARγ methylation and osteogenic differentiation.
Article in Cell death & disease, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Osteoporosis, a prevalent bone disease, is characterized by the deterioration of bone tissue microstructure and imbalanced osteogenesis. The regulatory role of PPARγ m6A methylation mediated by METTL16 remains poorly elucidated. This study utilized advanced single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) and Bulk RNA-seq techniques to explore how METTL16 influences the osteogenic differentiation of Bone Marrow-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells (BMSCs) and its implication in osteoporosis. The research revealed that METTL16 enhances the suppression of osteogenic differentiation in BMSCs, while PPARγ is associated with BMSC ferroptosis. Mechanistically, METTL16 facilitates the m6A modification of PPARγ transcription, thereby promoting ferroptosis in BMSCs and impeding their osteogenic differentiation. The in vivo animal experiments confirmed the pivotal role of the METTL16-PPARγ axis in osteoporosis development in mice. These findings suggest that the regulation of PPARγ m6A methylation by METTL16, leading to ferroptosis, is a critical mechanism impacting BMSC osteogenic differentiation and the pathogenesis of osteoporosis.
