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

Snu114 is the only GTPase required for mRNA splicing. As a homolog of elongation factor G, it contains three domains (III-V) predicted to undergo a large rearrangement following GTP hydrolysis. To assess the functional importance of the domains of Snu114, we used random mutagenesis to create conditionally lethal alleles. We identified three main classes: (1) mutations that are predicted to affect GTP binding and hydrolysis, (2) mutations that are clustered in 10- to 20-amino-acid stretches in each of domains III-V, and (3) mutations that result in deletion of up to 70 amino acids from the C terminus. Representative mutations from each of these classes blocked the first step of splicing in vivo and in vitro. The growth defects caused by most alleles were synthetically exacerbated by mutations in PRP8, a U5 snRNP protein that physically interacts with Snu114, as well as in genes involved in snRNP biogenesis, including SAD1 and BRR1. The allele snu114-60, which truncates the C terminus, was synthetically lethal with factors required for activation of the spliceosome, including the DExD/H-box ATPases BRR2 and PRP28. We propose that GTP hydrolysis results in a rearrangement between Prp8 and the C terminus of Snu114 that leads to release of U1 and U4, thus activating the spliceosome for catalysis.
