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

Messenger RNA decay mediated by the c-fos major protein coding-region determinant of instability (mCRD) is a useful system for studying translationally coupled mRNA turnover. Among the five mCRD-associated proteins identified previously, UNR was found to be an mCRD-binding protein and also a PABP-interacting protein. Interaction between UNR and PABP is necessary for the full destabilization function of the mCRD. By testing different classes of mammalian poly(A) nucleases, we identified CCR4 as a poly(A) nuclease involved in the mCRD-mediated rapid deadenylation in vivo and also associated with UNR. Blocking either translation initiation or elongation greatly impeded poly(A) shortening and mRNA decay mediated by the mCRD, demonstrating that the deadenylation step is coupled to ongoing translation of the message. These findings suggest a model in which the mCRD/UNR complex serves as a "landing/assembly" platform for formation of a deadenylation/decay mRNA-protein complex on an mCRD-containing transcript. The complex is dormant prior to translation. Accelerated deadenylation and decay of the transcript follows ribosome transit through the mCRD. This study provides new insights into a mechanism by which interplay between mRNA turnover and translation determines the lifespan of an mCRD-containing mRNA in the cytoplasm.
