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 Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus produces a 1077 nucleotide noncoding, polyadenylated, exclusively nuclear RNA called PAN that is highly expressed in lytically infected cells. We report that PAN contains a novel post-transcriptional element essential for its abundant accumulation. The element, PAN-ENE (PAN RNA expression and nuclear retention element), increases the efficiency of 3'-end formation in vivo and is sufficient to enhance RNA abundance from an otherwise inefficiently expressed intronless beta-globin construct. The PAN-ENE does not concomitantly increase the production of encoded protein. Rather, it retains the unspliced beta-globin mRNA in the nucleus. Tethering of export factors can override the nuclear retention of the PAN-ENE, supporting a mechanism whereby the PAN-ENE blocks assembly of an export-competent mRNP. The activities of the PAN-ENE are specific to intronless constructs, since inserting the PAN-ENE into a spliced beta-globin construct has no effect on mRNA abundance and does not affect localization. This is the first characterization of a cis-acting element that increases RNA abundance of intronless transcripts but inhibits assembly of an export-competent mRNP.
