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

In eukaryotes the primary cleavage of the precursor rRNA (pre-rRNA) occurs in the 5' external transcribed spacer (5'ETS). In Saccharomyces cerevisiae and animals this cleavage depends on a conserved U3 small nucleolar ribonucleoprotein particle (snoRNP), including fibrillarin, and on other transiently associated proteins such as nucleolin. This large complex can be visualized by electron microscopy bound to the nascent pre-rRNA soon after initiation of transcription. Our group previously described a radish rRNA gene binding activity, NF D, that specifically binds to a cluster of conserved motifs preceding the primary cleavage site in the 5'ETS of crucifer plants including radish, cauliflower, and Arabidopsis thaliana (D. Caparros-Ruiz, S. Lahmy, S. Piersanti, and M. Echeverria, Eur. J. Biochem. 247:981-989, 1997). Here we report the purification and functional characterization of NF D from cauliflower inflorescences. Remarkably NF D also binds to 5'ETS RNA and accurately cleaves it at the primary cleavage site mapped in vivo. NF D is a multiprotein factor of 600 kDa that dissociates into smaller complexes. Two polypeptides of NF D identified by microsequencing are homologues of nucleolin and fibrillarin. The conserved U3 and U14 snoRNAs associated with fibrillarin and required for early pre-rRNA cleavages are also found in NF D. Based on this it is proposed that NF D is a processing complex that assembles on the rDNA prior to its interaction with the nascent pre-rRNA.
