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

objectiveThis study was conducted to identify lncRNAs associated with fat deposition in Kele pigs and investigate their molecular regulatory mechanisms.

methodsSix healthy 10-month-old male Kele pigs were selected as the experimental subjects and divided into high backfat thickness (>5%, H) and low backfat thickness group (<5%, L). Subcutaneous adipose tissue of each group was collected for whole-transcriptome RNA sequencing (RNA-seq). Subsequently, the biological functions of identified lncRNAs were investigated to explore their regulatory mechanisms on fat deposition in Kele pigs.

resultsRNA-seq revealed 493 differentially expressed lncRNAs (p<0.05), with TCONS_00185937 and TCONS_00161198 implicated in fat deposition. Correlation analysis showed that the expression of TCONS_00185937 was significantly negatively correlated with backfat thickness, and the expression of TCONS_00161198 was significantly positively correlated with backfat thickness, and negatively correlated with eye muscle area. The pEGFP-TCONS_00185937 was transfected into subcutaneous fat precursor cells, it was found that the expression levels of TCONS_00185937 and its target genes MOGAT2 and ATGL were significantly higher than control group (p<0.05). Similarly, pEGFP-TCONS_00161198 transfected cells found that the expression levels of TCONS_00161198 and its target genes CSF3R and ACC were significantly higher than control group (p<0.05). The induced differentiation of transfected cells found that the OD510 absorption value of pEGFP-TCONS_00161198 group was higher than that of the control group. Triglyceride content was significantly higher than that of control group (p<0.01), while OD510 absorption value and triglyceride content of pEGFP-TCONS_00185937 group were lower than that of control group.

conclusionThe above results indicate that TCONS_00161198 and TCONS_00185937 may have regulatory effects on their target genes, thereby affecting fat deposition in pig subcutaneous fat precursor cells. This work provides a theoretical basis for the regulation of fat deposition in Kele pigs.
