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

Gene regulatory mechanisms that underlie tissue regeneration have been largely studied at the level of transcription. Here, proximity labeling methods identify increased presence of the RNA helicase and P-body marker Ddx61 in adult zebrafish cardiomyocytes induced to divide by injury or mitogens. Ddx61 molecules form complex condensates in cardiomyocytes during cardiogenic settings in zebrafish, developing mice, and cultured human cells. ddx61 mutations disrupt cardiomyocyte proliferation and heart regeneration indices in adult zebrafish, and DDX6 knockdown reduces proliferation of cultured human cardiomyocytes. During heart regeneration, Ddx61 associates with and is required to restrain expression of mRNA encoding Chordin, a secreted BMP inhibitor that impedes regeneration if present at high levels. Our experiments indicate that mRNA sorting by context-dependent condensates can impact tissue regenerative capacity.
