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

The Microprocessor complex, minimally composed of DROSHA and DGCR8, is ubiquitously required for microRNA biogenesis. It also regulates the balance between pluripotency and differentiation through mRNA alternative splicing and mRNA cleavage. However, how these various activities are regulated remains incompletely understood. Both DROSHA and DGCR8 are phosphoproteins, and phosphorylation has been reported to influence their molecular functions. In this study, we identified residues in DGCR8 by mass spectrometry that were differentially phosphorylated in mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) before and after differentiation into neuronal cells. This included S95 that exhibited greater phosphorylation in undifferentiated cells, and S238 that exhibited greater phosphorylation in differentiated cells. By means of CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genome editing of the endogenous
