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 invariant AGC triad of U6 snRNA plays an essential, unknown role in splicing. The triad has been implicated in base-pairing with residues in U2, U4, and U6. Through a genetic analysis in S. cerevisiae, we found that most AGC mutants are suppressed both by restoring pairing with U2, supporting the significance of U2/U6 helix Ib, and by destabilizing U2 stem I, indicating that this stem regulates helix Ib formation. Intriguingly, one of the helix Ib base pairs is required specifically for exon ligation, raising the possibility that the entirety of helix Ib is required only for exon ligation. We also found that U4 mutations that reduce complementarity in U4 stem I enhance U2-mediated suppression of an AGC mutant, suggesting that U4 stem I competes with the AGC-containing U4/U6 stem I. Implicating an additional, essential function for the triad, three triad mutants are refractory to suppression--even by simultaneous restoration of pairing with U2, U4, and U6. An absolute requirement for a purine at the central position of the triad parallels an equivalent requirement in a catalytically important AGC triad in group II introns, consistent with a role for the AGC triad of U6 in catalysis.
