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

Methyltransferase-like 3 (METTL3) is a typical component of N6-methyladenosine writers that exhibits methyltransferase activity and deposits methyl groups on RNA. Currently, accumulating studies have demonstrated the involvement of METTL3 in the regulation of neuro-physiological and pathological events. However, no reviews have comprehensively summarized and analyzed the roles and mechanisms of METTL3 in these events. Herein, we are focused on reviewing the roles of METTL3 in regulating normal neurophysiological (Neurogenesis, Synaptic Plasticity and Glial Plasticity, Neurodevelopment, Learning and Memory,) and neuropathological (Autism Spectrum Disorder, Major Depressive Disorder, Neurodegenerative disorders, Brain Tumors, Brain Injuries, and Other Brain Disorders) events. Our review found that although the down-regulated levels of METTL3 function through different roles and mechanisms in the nervous system, it primarily inactivates neuro-physiological events and triggers or worsens neuropathological events. In addition, our review suggests that METTL3 could be used as a diagnostic biomarker and therapeutic target in the nervous system. Collectively, our review has provided an up-to-date research outline of METTL3 in the nervous system. In addition, the regulatory network for METTL3 in the nervous system has been mapped, which could provide directions for future research, biomarkers for clinical diagnosis, and targets for disease treatment. Furthermore, this review has provided a comprehensive view, which could improve our understanding of METTL3 functions in the nervous system.
