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 decapping of eukaryotic mRNAs is a key step in their degradation. The heteroheptameric Lsm1p-7p complex is a general activator of decapping and also functions in protecting the 3' ends of deadenylated mRNAs from a 3'-trimming reaction. Lsm1p is the unique member of the Lsm1p-7p complex, distinguishing that complex from the functionally different Lsm2p-8p complex. To understand the function of Lsm1p, we constructed a series of deletion and point mutations of the LSM1 gene and examined their effects on phenotype. These studies revealed the following: (i) Mutations affecting the predicted RNA-binding and inter-subunit interaction residues of Lsm1p led to impairment of mRNA decay, suggesting that the integrity of the Lsm1p-7p complex and the ability of the Lsm1p-7p complex to interact with mRNA are important for mRNA decay function; (ii) mutations affecting the predicted RNA contact residues did not affect the localization of the Lsm1p-7p complex to the P-bodies; (iii) mRNA 3'-end protection could be indicative of the binding of the Lsm1p-7p complex to the mRNA prior to activation of decapping, since all the mutants defective in mRNA 3' end protection were also blocked in mRNA decay; and (iv) in addition to the Sm domain, the C-terminal domain of Lsm1p is also important for mRNA decay function.
