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 cleavage and polyadenylation specificity factor (CPSF) is an important multi-subunit component of the mRNA 3'-end processing apparatus in eukaryotes. The Arabidopsis genome contains five genes encoding CPSF homologues (AtCPSF160, AtCPSF100, AtCPSF73-I, AtCPSF73-II and AtCPSF30). These CPSF homologues interact with each other in a way that is analogous to the mammalian CPSF complex or their yeast counterparts, and also interact with the Arabidopsis poly(A) polymerase (PAP). There are two CPSF73 like proteins (AtCPSF73-I and AtCPSF73-II) that share homology with the 73 kD subunit of the mammalian CPSF complex. AtCPSF73-I appears to correspond to the functionally characterized mammalian CPSF73 and its yeast counterpart. AtCPSF73-II was identified as a novel protein with uncharacterized protein homologues in other multicellular organisms, but not in yeast. Both of the AtCPSF73 proteins are targeted in the nucleus and were found to interact with AtCPSF100. They are also essential since knockout or knockdown mutants are lethal. In addition, the expression level of AtCPSF73-I is critical for Arabidopsis development because overexpression of AtCPSF73-I is lethal. Interestingly, transgenic plants carrying an additional copy of the AtCPSF73-I gene, that is, the full-length cDNA under the control of its native promoter, appeared normal but were male sterile due to delayed anther dehiscence. In contrast, we previously demonstrated that a mutation in the AtCPSF73-II gene was detrimental to the genetic transmission of female gametes. Thus, two 73 kD subunits of the AtCPSF complex appear to have special functions during flower development. The important roles of mRNA 3'-end processing machinery in modulating plant development are discussed.
