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 CCAAT box transcription factor (CBTF) is a multimeric transcription factor that activates expression of the haematopoietic regulatory factor, GATA-2. The 122 kDa subunit of this complex, CBTF(122), is cytoplasmic in fertilized Xenopus eggs and subsequently translocates to the nucleus prior to activation of zygotic GATA-2 transcription at gastrulation. Here we present data suggesting both a role for CBTF(122) prior to its nuclear translocation and the mechanism that retains it in the cytoplasm before the midblastula transition (MBT). CBTF(122) and its variant CBTF(98) are associated with translationally quiescent mRNP complexes. We show that CBTF(122) RNA binding activity is both necessary and sufficient for its cytoplasmic retention during early development. The introduction of an additional nuclear localization signal to CBTF(122) is insufficient to overcome this retention, suggesting that RNA binding acts as a cytoplasmic anchor for CBTF(122). Destruction of endogenous RNA by microinjection of RNase promotes premature nuclear translocation of CBTF(122). Thus, the nuclear translocation of CBTF(122) at the MBT is likely to be coupled to the degradation of maternal mRNA that occurs at that stage.
