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

N4-acetylcytidine (ac4C) modification, present in both long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) and messenger RNAs (mRNAs), regulates cell fate decisions, yet its role in female germline stem cell (FGSC) development remains poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate that ac4C modification depletion (in vitro or in vivo) impairs FGSC maintenance by disrupting the EEF1A1-mediated Gm26917-Rpl10 interaction, leading to attenuated protein synthesis. Reduced ac4C levels suppress FGSC viability and proliferation, dysregulate cell cycle progression, and promote differentiation and apoptosis. Integrated acRIP-seq and RNA in situ conformation sequencing (RIC-seq) analyses demonstrate that diminished ac4C modification in lncRNA Gm26917 compromises its stability and weakens its interaction with Rpl10. Strikingly, the reduction of RPL10 is primarily caused by impaired Gm26917-Rpl10 interaction rather than direct ac4C modification. Gm26917 or Rpl10 knockdown disrupts FGSC fate, while ribosome profiling sequencing (Ribo-seq) reveals that Gm26917 depletion significantly reduces mRNA translation efficiency (TE), a defect rescued by Rpl10 overexpression. Furthermore, EEF1A1 disruption diminishes the Gm26917-Rpl10 interaction and decreases mRNA TE. This work establishes that ac4C modification on lncRNAs governs their spatial interactions with mRNAs, elucidates a novel ac4C-Gm26917-EEF1A1-Rpl10 axis in FGSC maintenance, and provides a potential molecular target for modulating germ cell development and fertility.
