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

The eukaryotic defense response posttranscriptional gene silencing (PTGS) is directed by short-interfering RNAs and thwarts invading nucleic acids via the RNA slicing activity of conserved ARGONAUTE (AGO) proteins. PTGS can be counteracted by exogenous or endogenous suppressors, including the cytoplasmic exoribonuclease XRN4, which also degrades microRNA (miRNA)-guided mRNA cleavage products but does not play an obvious role in development. Here, we show that the nuclear exoribonucleases XRN2 and XRN3 are endogenous PTGS suppressors. We also identify excised MIRNA loops as templates for XRN2 and XRN3 and show that XRN3 is critical for proper development. Independently, we identified the nucleotidase/phosphatase FIERY1 (FRY1) as an endogenous PTGS suppressor through a suppressor screen in a hypomorphic ago1 genetic background. FRY1 is one of six Arabidopsis thaliana orthologs of yeast Hal2. Yeast hal2 mutants overaccumulate 3'-phosphoadenosine 5'-phosphate, which suppresses the 5'-->3' exoribonucleases Xrn1 and Rat1. fry1 mutant plants recapitulate developmental and molecular characteristics of xrn mutants and likely restore PTGS in ago1 hypomorphic mutants by corepressing XRN2, XRN3, and XRN4, thus increasing RNA silencing triggers. We anticipate that screens incorporating partially compromised silencing components will uncover additional PTGS suppressors that may not be revealed using robust silencing systems.
