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

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is non-specific inflammatory bowel disease. UC development and progression were closely associated with epigenetic modifications. Nevertheless, the specific relationship between N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification at RNA transcription levels and UC pathogenesis remains unclear. We established UC cell models and mouse models through dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) induction. The expression levels of METTL14 were analyzed via qRT-PCR and western blot. In vitro functional experiments evaluated the effects of METTL14 overexpression on the viability of DSS-induced NCM460 cells and ferroptosis markers. Use of the m6A methylation detection kit, MeRIP-qPCR, and RNA stability experiments confirmed the molecular mechanism controlled by METTL14. In vivo experiments with inflammatory mice models elucidated the interaction between METTL14 and GPX4. Findings from this study indicated a notable reduction in m6A methyltransferase METTL14 expression in DSS-induced NCM460 cells and DSS-induced mice models. METTL14 overexpression effectively suppressed ferroptosis in DSS-induced NCM460 cells. In addition, METTL14 enhanced GPX4 mRNA stability through mediating m6A modification, and the interplay between METTL14 and GPX4 through m6A modification introduced innovative therapeutic approaches for UC management.
