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

Cleavage and polyadenylation is an essential processing reaction required for the maturation of pre-mRNAs into stable, export- and translation-competent mature mRNA molecules. This reaction requires the assembly of a multimeric protein complex onto a bipartite core sequence element consisting of an AAUAAA hexamer and a GU/U-rich downstream sequence element. In this study we have analyzed 3' end processing of the human melanocortin 1 receptor gene (MC1R). The MC1R gene is an intron-free transcription unit, and its poly(A) site lacks a defined U/GU-rich element. We describe two G-rich sequence elements that are critical for efficient cleavage at the MC1R poly(A) site. The first element is located 30 nucleotides downstream of the cleavage site and acts as an essential closely positioned enhancer. The second G-rich region is positioned more than 440 nucleotides downstream of the MC1R processing site and is instrumental for optimal processing efficiency. Both G-rich sequences contain clusters of heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein binding motifs and act together to enhance cleavage at the MC1R poly(A) site.
