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

Vascular calcification (VC) is an important pathological development progress in chronic kidney disease (CKD) and may increase mortality but lacks effective treatments. N6-methyladenosine (m6A) has been verified to be the most prevalent internal chemical RNA modification in mammalian mRNAs. The M6A-modified mRNA degradation process is mediated by the reader YTHDF2 in an m6A-dependent manner. Nevertheless, the exact role and molecular mechanism of YTHDF2 in VC remain unclear. This study aimed to investigate the potential role of YTHDF2 in the osteogenic differentiation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). It was found that YTHDF2 was markedly downregulated in both
