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

Introduction: Infantile hemangioma (IH) is a common benign vascular tumor characterized by a proliferative phase followed by regression. N6-methyladenosine (m6A) methylation, a major RNA modification, plays a critical role in tumor development, though its function in IH remains unclear. Methods: This study analyzed six IH samples (three from proliferative IH, three from involuting IH), using transcript-specific microarrays after m6A immunoprecipitation to explore dynamic methylation changes and their regulatory impact on gene expression. Results: Results showed significantly lower m6A levels in involuting-phase hemangiomas. Differentially methylated genes (DMGs) were mainly involved in biological processes such as cell-cell junction and cell-matrix adhesion. KEGG pathway analysis revealed DMGs were enriched in MAPK, Calcium, and PI3K-Akt signaling pathways, suggesting that m6A modifications are closely linked to angiogenesis and tumor growth. MeRIP-qPCR showed that IGF1 and IGF2 exhibiting significant correlation in both m6A levels and expression. The overall downregulation of m6A modification for lncRNA and sncRNA suggested active demethylation processes may involve in involution of IH. Discussion: Overall, this study demonstrates that m6A methylation modulates key cellular pathways in IH progression and may serve as a promising target for future diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.
