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

RNA-specific nucleotidyl transferases (rNTrs) are a diverse family of template-independent polymerases that add ribonucleotides to the 3'-ends of RNA molecules. All rNTrs share a related active-site architecture first described for DNA polymerase beta and a catalytic mechanism conserved among DNA and RNA polymerases. The best known examples are the nuclear poly(A) polymerases involved in the 3'-end processing of eukaryotic messenger RNA precursors and the ubiquitous CCA-adding enzymes that complete the 3'-ends of tRNA molecules. In recent years, a growing number of new enzymes have been added to the list that now includes the "noncanonical" poly(A) polymerases involved in RNA quality control or in the readenylation of dormant messenger RNAs in the cytoplasm. Other members of the group are terminal uridylyl transferases adding single or multiple UMP residues in RNA-editing reactions or upon the maturation of small RNAs and poly(U) polymerases, the substrates of which are still not known. 2'-5'Oligo(A) synthetases differ from the other rNTrs by synthesizing oligonucleotides with 2'-5'-phosphodiester bonds de novo.
