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

Senile osteoporosis is mainly caused by osteoblasts attenuation, which results in reduced bone mass and disrupted bone remodeling. Numerous studies have focused on the regulatory role of m6A modification in osteoporosis; however, most of the studies have investigated the differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs), while the direct regulatory mechanism of m6A on osteoblasts remains unknown. This study revealed that the progression of senile osteoporosis is closely related to the downregulation of m6A modification and methyltransferase-like 3 (METTL3). Overexpression of METTL3 inhibits osteoblast aging. Methylated RNA immunoprecipitation sequencing (MeRIP-seq) revealed that METTL3 upregulates the stability of Hspa1a mRNA, thereby inhibiting osteoblast aging. Moreover, the results demonstrated that METTL3 enhances the stability of Hspa1a mRNA via m6A modification to regulate osteoblast aging. Notably, YTH N6-methyladenosine RNA binding protein 2 (YTHDF2) participates in stabilizing Hspa1a mRNA in the METTL3-mediated m6A modification process, rather than the well-known degradation function. Mechanistically, METTL3 increases the stability of Hspa1a mRNA in a YTHDF2-dependent manner to inhibit osteoblast aging. Our results confirmed the significant role of METTL3 in osteoblast aging and suggested that METTL3 could be a potential therapeutic target for senile osteoporosis.
