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

NORHA, a long non-coding RNA (lncRNA), serves as a key inducer of follicular atresia in sows by triggering granulosa cells (GCs) apoptosis. However, its regulation by N6-methyladenosine (m6A)-the most abundant RNA modification-remains unresolved. This study identified NORHA as a functional target of the m6A reader HNRNPA2B1 in sow GCs (sGCs). Transcriptome-wide mapping of RNA modification sites revealed extensive m6A enrichment on NORHA, with HNRNPA2B1 binding directly to the transcript and enhancing its stability via modification of multiple m6A sites, including A261, A441, and A919. HNRNPA2B1 suppressed 17β-estradiol (E2) biosynthesis and promoted sGC apoptosis by activating the NORHA-FoxO1 axis. FoxO1 subsequently repressed expression of cytochrome P450 family 19 subfamily A member 1 (CYP19A1), which encodes the enzyme essential for E2 biosynthesis. Additionally, HNRNPA2B1 functioned as a critical mediator of METTL3-dependent m6A modification, modulating NORHA expression and activity in sGCs. This study highlights an important m6A-dependent regulatory mechanism governing NORHA expression in sGCs.
