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

In many Caenorhabditis elegans pre-mRNAs, the RNA sequence between the 5' cap and the first 3' splice site is replaced by trans-splicing a short spliced leader (SL) from the Sm snRNP, SL1. C. elegans also utilizes a similar Sm snRNP, SL2, to trans-splice at sites between genes in polycistronic pre-mRNAs from operons. How do SL1 and SL2 snRNPs function in different contexts? Here we show that the SL1 snRNP contains a complex of SL75p and SL21p, which are homologs of novel proteins previously reported in the Ascaris SL snRNP. Interestingly, we show that the SL2 snRNP does not contain these proteins. However, SL75p and SL26p, a paralog of SL21p, are components of another Sm snRNP that contains a novel snRNA species, Sm Y. Knockdown of SL75p is lethal. However, knockdown of either SL21p or SL26p alone leads to cold-sensitive sterility, whereas knockdown of both SL21p and SL26p is lethal. This suggests that these two proteins have overlapping functions even though they are associated with different classes of snRNP. These phenotypic relationships, along with the association of SL26p with SL75p, imply that, like the SL1 RNA/Sm/SL75p/SL21p complex, the Sm Y/Sm/SL75p/SL26p complex is associated with trans-splicing.
