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

It is generally assumed that, in mammalian cells, preribosomal RNAs are entirely processed before nuclear exit. Here, we show that pre-40S particles exported to the cytoplasm in HeLa cells contain 18S rRNA extended at the 3' end with 20-30 nucleotides of the internal transcribed spacer 1. Maturation of this pre-18S rRNA (which we named 18S-E) involves a cytoplasmic protein, the human homolog of the yeast kinase Rio2p, and appears to be required for the translation competence of the 40S subunit. By tracking the nuclear exit of this precursor, we have identified the ribosomal protein Rps15 as a determinant of preribosomal nuclear export in human cells. Interestingly, inhibition of exportin Crm1/Xpo1 with leptomycin B strongly alters processing of the 5'-external transcribed spacer, upstream of nuclear export, and reveals a new cleavage site in this transcribed spacer. Completion of the maturation of the 18S rRNA in the cytoplasm, a feature thought to be unique to yeast, may prevent pre-40S particles from initiating translation with pre-mRNAs in eukaryotic cells. It also allows new strategies for the study of preribosomal transport in mammalian cells.
