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

More than 100 types of RNA modifications have been identified in mammalian cells, among which N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most prevalent. This reversible and dynamic modification involves methyltransferases, demethylases, and reader proteins. Aberrant expression of m6A-related regulatory proteins in the nervous system significantly impacts neuronal physiology, contributing to mental disorders such as depression, autism spectrum disorder, and schizophrenia. This review summarizes the role of m6A methylation in the pathogenesis of mental disorders and highlights its potential as a biomarker and therapeutic target, providing a comprehensive reference for future research and clinical interventions.
