miR-932 Suppresses the Expression of Germline-Specific
Article in Development & reproduction, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Germline cells are specified early in embryogenesis and are encapsulated by somatic cells to form the gonads (testis or ovary). This development requires genes with expression restricted to germline cells, such as the DEAD-box RNA helicase Vasa, an evolutionarily conserved protein exclusively expressed in the germline of the testis. However, the mechanisms underlying germline-specific expression remain poorly understood. To identify microRNAs that function in the somatic cells of the testis, we employed the binary Gal4/UAS expression system, which enables the expression of UAS-microRNA sponges in somatic cells driven by somatic Gal4 drivers. The screening identified the miR-932 sponge as a regulator. Testes with hub-specific Gal4 driven expression of the UAS-miR-932 sponge exhibit ectopic Vasa expression in the hub cells. Thus, our findings suggest that miR-932 in the somatic hub cells prevents Vasa expression in these cells.
