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

X-chromosome-linked inhibitor of apoptosis, XIAP, has been shown to contain a strong internal ribosome entry site (IRES) within its 5' untranslated region (UTR) that promotes translation of XIAP mRNA under conditions of cellular stress. This claim came under scrutiny in a recent report demonstrating that the XIAP 5' UTR undergoes splicing when inserted between the two reporter cistrons of the dual luciferase plasmid Rluc/Fluc. In this paper, we demonstrate that the splicing within the XIAP 5' UTR specifically occurs only in the context of mRNA produced from the Rluc/Fluc but not the pbetagal/CAT bicistronic reporter plasmid.
