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 N6-Methyladenosine (m6A) modification is prevalent across various RNA species, including messenger RNAs (mRNAs) and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), and has garnered significant interest due to its potential implications in cardiovascular disease. Despite extensive research, the precise relationship between m6A and myocardial infarction (MI) remains inadequately understood. The human YTH domain family 2 (YTHDF2) protein has emerged as a critical factor in this context, selectively recognizing m6A-modified RNAs and modulating their degradation. Our investigation revealed that the knockdown of YTHDF2 markedly enhanced ferroptosis in vitro, whereas the overexpression of YTHDF2 exhibited a significant protective effect. Mechanistically, it was elucidated that YTHDF2 suppresses the expression of nuclear receptor coactivator 4 (NCOA4) via m6A methylation. Furthermore, the inhibition of cardiomyocyte ferroptosis by YTHDF2 is contingent upon its regulation of NCOA4. Additionally, the enzyme methyltransferase-like 3 (METTL3) was identified as a pivotal factor in the m6A-mediated degradation of NCOA4 mRNA. Taken together, our results highlight the significant role of YTHDF2-mediated NCOA4 m6A methylation in the regulation of myocardial infarction and myocardial ferroptosis, suggesting that YTHDF2 may be a promising target for therapeutic interventions in myocardial infarction.
