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

Multiciliated cells (MCCs) play a crucial role in various physiological processes, including cerebrospinal fluid flow, mucus clearance, and reproductive transport, by coordinating ciliary movement. Their differentiation is regulated by the Notch signaling pathway, along with its downstream targets, Gemc1 and Mcidas transcription factors. This study focuses on Zmynd10, a dynein axonemal assembly factor, to investigate its molecular mechanisms that regulate polycilia differentiation. By constructing a model of Zmynd10-specific knockdown in mouse ependymal cells (mEPCs), we found that Zmynd10 knockdown resulted in a decrease in ciliary density and significantly downregulated the mRNA and protein expression of E2f4 and Deup1. Further experiments demonstrated that E2f4 knockdown inhibited Deup1 expression and reduced cilia numbers, while Zmynd10 regulated the E2f4-Deup1 axis by activating the E2f4 promoter. This study reveals for the first time that Zmynd10 drives centriole amplification through the transcriptional regulation of the E2f4-Deup1 pathway, providing new insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying multicilia differentiation.
