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

Telomerase replenishes the telomeric repeats that cap eukaryotic chromosome ends. To perform DNA synthesis, the active site of telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) copies a template within the integral telomerase RNA (TER). In vivo, TERT and TER and additional subunits form a telomerase holoenzyme capable of telomere elongation. We previously purified epitope-tagged Tetrahymena thermophila TERT and characterized two of the associated proteins. Here we characterize the remaining two proteins that were enriched by TERT purification. The primary sequence of the p75 polypeptide lacks evident homology with other proteins, whereas the p20 polypeptide is the Tetrahymena ortholog of a conserved multifunctional protein, Skp1. Genetic depletion of p75 induced telomere shortening without affecting the accumulation of TER or TERT, suggesting that p75 promotes telomerase function at the telomere. Affinity purification of p75 coenriched telomerase activity and each other known telomerase holoenzyme protein. On the other hand, genetic depletion of Skp1p induced telomere elongation, suggesting that this protein plays a negative regulatory role in the maintenance of telomere length homeostasis. Affinity purification of Skp1p did not detectably enrich active telomerase but did copurify ubiquitin ligase machinery. These studies reveal additional complexity in the positive and negative regulation of Tetrahymena telomerase function.
