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

Synthesis of rRNA in eukaryotes involves the action of a large population of snoRNA-protein complexes (snoRNPs), which create modified nucleotides and participate in cleavage of pre-rRNA. The snoRNPs mediate these functions through direct base pairing, in many cases through long complementary sequences. This feature suggests that RNA helicases may be involved in the binding and release of snoRNPs from pre-rRNA. In this study, we determined that the DEAD box helicase Has1p, a nucleolar protein required for the production of 18S rRNA, copurifies with the snR30/U17 processing snoRNP but is also present with other snoRNPs. Blocking Has1p expression causes a substantial increase in snoRNPs associated with 60S-90S preribosomal RNP complexes, including the U3 and U14 processing snoRNPs and several modifying snoRNPs examined. Cosedimentation persisted even after deproteinization. This effect was not observed with depletion of two nonhelicase proteins, Esf1p and Dim2p, that are also required for 18S rRNA production. Point mutations in ATPase and helicase motifs of Has1p block U14 release from pre-rRNA. Surprisingly, depletion of Has1p causes a reduction in the level of free U6 snRNP. The results indicate that the Has1p helicase is required for snoRNA release from pre-rRNA and production of the U6 snRNP.
