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

backgroundMycn, a MYC gene family member, is implicated in both carcinogenesis through amplification and Feingold syndrome through its deficiency. Previous studies have indicated that increased Mycn expression enhances vascularization in human neuroblastomas, yet its precise role in vascular development remains elusive.

resultsIn this study, we utilized single-cell RNA-seq and live imaging analyses to confirm that mycn is expressed during zebrafish vasculogenesis. We investigated vascular development in zebrafish using a genetically engineered mycn mutation. Our findings reveal that mycn-deficient zebrafish exhibit reduced intersegmental vessels and malformed subintestinal vessels, primarily due to decreased cell proliferation in vascular endothelial cells. Importantly, we discovered that activation of PI3K signaling significantly ameliorates these vascular abnormalities.

conclusionsOur study establishes Mycn as a key regulator of vascular development in zebrafish, acting through the PI3K signaling pathway.
