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

Post-translational modifications (PTMs) have been gradually elucidated in congenital malformations such as cleft palate. Among them, O-GlcNAcylation as a dynamic PTM of proteins regulates various critical biological processes including transcription, translation, and cell fate determination. In this study, a substantial decline in O-linked β-D-N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) levels was detected within the palatine plates of all-trans retinoic acid (atRA)-induced cleft palate mice. The role of O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT), the sole enzyme responsible for catalyzing O-GlcNAcylation, was investigated in the process of palatal development. In a zebrafish model, the loss of O-GlcNAc resulted in an elevated prevalence of cleft palate and compromised palatal bone formation. Mechanistically, O-GlcNAcylation of myeloid ecotropic viral integration site 2 (MEIS2), which is mediated by OGT, was found to maintain osteogenic homeostasis by modulating its protein stability through inhibition of ubiquitination. Notably, the serine 237 residue (Ser237) was identified as a critical site for MEIS2 O-GlcNAcylation. Together, the present study uncovers the important function of MEIS2 O-GlcNAcylation in palatal bone development and establishes a novel theoretical framework for understanding the regulatory network of palatal development. This finding may provide novel avenues for the future diagnosis and prevention of cleft palate.
