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

RHOB, a member of the RHO GTPase family, is a target of miR-1915-3p. miR-1915-3p was proven to promote the differentiation of megakaryocytes while inhibiting that of the erythroid lineage. Although RHOB has been shown to be involved in proplatelet production in mice, its role in early haematopoiesis, especially megakaryocytic and erythroid differentiation in humans, has not yet been elucidated. In this study, we demonstrated the function of RHOB by knocking down the gene in progenitor cells and inducing these cells to differentiate into erythroid or megakaryocytic cells. The silencing of RHOB significantly decreased the proportion of erythroid cells and inhibited the expression of related genes during erythroid differentiation while increasing the proportion of megakaryocytic and polyploid cells and promoting the expression of megakaryocytic lineage-specific genes in megakaryocyte-induced cells. RNA sequencing indicated that RHOB is involved in differentiation by regulating the cell cycle and cytoskeleton. Accordingly, we found that RHOB could differentially affect the expression of cyclin-dependent kinases and cyclins to alter the proportions of G
