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

Trypanosoma brucei mitochondria possess a unique RNA decay pathway in which rapid degradation of polyadenylated mRNAs is dependent on the addition of UTP, as measured by in organello pulse chase assays. To determine the mechanism by which UTP stimulates the degradation of polyadenylated RNAs, we performed in organello pulse chase assays under different conditions. Treatment of mitochondria with proteinase K revealed that UTP does not act through a receptor on the surface of the mitochondria. To determine if the UTP-stimulated RNA decay pathway is triggered by the mitochondrial energy state or ATP:UTP ratio, increasing ATP was added to a constant amount of UTP during the chase period of the assay. Results indicate that rapid turnover is responsive to UTP and not the ATP:UTP ratio. Experiments using UTP analogs demonstrate that UTP polymerization into RNAs is necessary for UTP-dependent degradation. Furthermore, experiments performed with RNAi cells indicate that the RET1 terminal uridylyl transferase (TUTase) is required for UTP-dependent decay of polyadenylated RNAs. Overall, these results show that degradation of polyadenylated RNAs in T. brucei mitochondria can occur through a unique mechanism that requires the polymerization of UTP into RNAs, presumably by the RET1 TUTase.
