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

Acquisition of neural progenitor cell (NPC) homeostasis through balancing self-renewal and differentiation is essential for brain development and function. Among the mechanisms controlling these processes, canonical Wnt signaling and the Mbd3-NuRD complex, with prominent suppressive effects on neurogenesis, have been described as crucial parts of the core regulatory circuit. Here we explored Mbd3 as a downstream element of the canonical Wnt signalosomes. Specifically, dynamic modulation of Wnt signaling through activator (Wnt3a) and inhibitor (DKK1) resulted in parallel alterations in β-catenin and Mbd3 expression patterns. Also, overexpression and depletion of GSK3β respectively promoted and attenuated Mbd3 ubiquitination, highlighting that the canonical Wnt cascade promotes Mbd3 stability. Downstream of the Wnt-β-catenin pathway, Mbd3 represses transcription of neurogenesis-associated genes by triggering NuRD complex assembly, thereby promoting NPC stemness. This new Wnt-Mbd3 axis extends the current understanding of the canonical Wnt network in directing neuronal cell-fate determination in NPCs, suggesting this pathway as a potential target for driving neural stem cell reprogramming and neuronal lineage commitment.
