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

Although messenger RNAs encoding the histone proteins are among the most abundant in mammalian oocytes, the mechanism regulating their translation has not been identified. The stem-loop binding protein (SLBP) binds to a highly conserved sequence in the 3'-untranslated region (utr) of the non-polyadenylated histone mRNAs in somatic cells and mediates their stabilization and translation. We previously showed that SLBP, which is expressed only during S-phase of proliferating cells, is expressed in growing oocytes at G2 of the cell cycle and accumulates substantially during meiotic maturation. We report here that elevating the amount of SLBP in immature (G2) oocytes is sufficient to increase translation of a reporter mRNA bearing the histone 3'-utr and endogenous histone synthesis and that this effect is not mediated through increased stability of the encoding mRNAs. We further report that translation of the reporter mRNA increases dramatically during meiotic maturation coincident with the accumulation of SLBP. Conversely, when SLBP accumulation during maturation is prevented using RNA interference, both translation of the reporter mRNA and synthesis of endogenous histones are significantly reduced. This effect is not mediated by a loss of the encoding mRNAs. Moreover, following fertilization, SLBP-depleted oocytes also show a significant decrease in pronuclear size and in the amount of acetylated histone detectable on the chromatin. These results demonstrate that histone synthesis in immature and maturing oocytes is governed by a translational control mechanism that is directly regulated by changes in the amount of SLBP.
