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

Grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella), as the highest-yielding freshwater species in China, has become a focus of muscle quality research. Previous studies have shown that natural grass feeding (GF) mode can improve the muscle quality of grass carp compared with artificial feeding (AF) mode, but its mechanism has not been revealed. In this study, we identified that interferon-γ2 (IFN-γ2) can be induced in the muscle tissues under GF mode. Therefore, recombinant IFN-γ2 protein was obtained to study its effect on grass carp muscle cells (GCMCs). We found that IFN-γ2 can facilitate the proliferation of GCMCs, and promote the myotube enlargement of GCMCs. Meanwhile, mRNA level investigations indicated that IFN-γ2 can regulate the expression of genes related to cell physiological processes. By transcriptome analysis, we screened a series of genes related to cell proliferation, differentiation, and migration. Using STAT1 inhibitor fludarabine in vitro, we confirmed that IFN-γ2 regulates the physiological development of GCMCs through JAK/STAT1. Finally, by knocking down IFN-γ2 in grass carp individuals, we verified that IFN-γ2 has an effective regulatory effect in vivo. This study provides novel target for improving the muscle quality of grass carp and provides inspiration for the development of aquaculture feeding mode. HIGHLIGHTS: 1. Natural grass feeding mode induces IFN-γ2 expression in grass carp muscle. 2. IFN-γ2 promotes the proliferation of grass carp muscle cells via JAK/STAT1. 3. IFN-γ2 regulates the expression of genes related to muscle proliferation in vivo.
