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 Caenorhabditis elegans, the small nuclear ribonucleoprotein (snRNP)-associated proteins U1A and U2B'' are approximately 50% identical to each other, and neither bears signature characteristics of mammalian U1A or U2B'' or the single Drosophila homolog, SNF. We show here that the genes that encode these proteins (rnp-2 and rnp-3) are cotranscribed in an operon, and that ribonucleoprotein RNP-2 is U1 snRNP-associated (U1A) whereas RNP-3 is U2 snRNP-associated (U2B''). U2B'' interacts with U2 even in the absence of another U2 snRNP protein, U2A'. Like U1A and U2B'' from yeast, plants, and vertebrates, worm U1A and U2B'' are more similar to each other than they are to other U1A or U2B'' proteins, respectively. Even though U1A and U2B'' interact with different snRNPs, they are functionally redundant; knockout of both is required for a lethal phenotype. Interestingly, U1A associates with U2 RNA when U2B'' is deleted. Thus, the two members of this gene family normally function as components of different snRNPs but apparently remain capable of performing the function of the other. Redundancy results from the fact that one protein can substitute for the other, even though it normally does not.
