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

Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) is receiving increasing attention in embryonic stem cells (ESCs) research. However, the roles of lncRNA in the differentiation of ESCs into pacemaker-like cells are still unclear. Therefore, the present study aims to explore the roles and mechanisms of lncRNA in the differentiation of ESCs into pacemaker-like cells. ESCs were cultured and induced differentiation to pacemaker-like cells. RNA sequencing was used to identify the differential expression lncRNAs during the differentiation of ESCs into pacemaker-like cells. Cell morphology observation, flow cytometry, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, western blot, and immunofluorescence were used to detect the differentiation of ESCs into pacemaker-like cells. LncRNA and genes overexpression or knockdown through transfected adenovirus in the differentiation process. The fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) detected the lncRNA location in the differentiated ESCs. Luciferase reporter gene assay, methylation-specific PCR, chromatin immunoprecipitation assay, and RNA immunoprecipitation assay were performed to reveal the mechanism of lncRNA-regulating HCN4 expression. Rescue experiments were used to confirm that lncRNA regulates the differentiation of ESCs into pacemaker-like cells through HCN4. We cultured the ESCs and induced the differentiation of ESCs into pacemaker-like cells successfully. The expression of lncRNA RCPCD was significantly decreased in the differentiation of ESCs into pacemaker-like cells. Overexpression of RCPCD inhibited the differentiation of ESCs into pacemaker-like cells. RCPCD inhibited the expression of HCN4 by increasing HCN4 methylation at the promoter region through DNMT1, DNMT2, and DNMT3. RCPCD inhibited the differentiation of ESCs into pacemaker-like cells by inhibiting the expression of HCN4. Our results confirm the roles and mechanism of lncRNA RCPCD in the differentiation of ESCs into pacemaker-like cells, which could pave the path for the development of a cell-based biological pacemaker.
