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

Werner syndrome (WS) is a rare autosomal recessive genetic disorder causing premature aging and rare cancers. A gene responsible for WS (WRN) encodes a protein with 1432 amino acids (a.a.) homologous to the E. coli RecQ-type DNA helicase. Transcriptional activation facilitated nucleolar localization of human WRN protein (hWRNp) and serum starvation induced translocation of hWRNp from the nucleoli to the nucleoplasm in human cultured cells, suggesting a nucleolar-nucleoplasm trafficking of hWRNp depending on transcriptional state. Mutant hWRNp lacking the C-terminal 30 a.a. residues (Delta1403-1432) failed to localize in the nucleolus, whereas Delta1405-1432 can migrate into the nucleolus. Here we identify a region putative for nucleolar localization signal (NoLS) containing a sequence of two positively charged amino acids (Arg(1403)-Lys(1404)) in the C-terminal area of hWRNp. By contrast, the mouse homolog (mWRNp) exists only in the nucleoplasm. We show that the inability of mWRNp to migrate into the nucleolus is due to a difference of a sequence in the region corresponding to the NoLS of hWRNp. In addition, mouse cells cannot recognize the NoLS of hWRNp. Our study suggests that defect in nucleolar function of hWRNp may be linked to the premature aging which is not observed in mWRN(-/-) mice.
