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

Splicing factors SF1 and U2AF associate cooperatively with pre-mRNA and play a crucial role in 3' splice site recognition during early steps of spliceosome assembly. Formation of the active spliceosome subsequently displaces SF1 in a remodeling process that stabilizes the association of U2 snRNP with pre-mRNA. Fluorescence microscopy shows SF1 and U2AF distributed throughout the nucleoplasm, where transcription occurs, with additional concentration in nuclear speckles, where splicing factors accumulate when not engaged in splicing. Fluorescence recovery after photobleaching analysis in live cells shows that the mobilities of SF1 and the two subunits of U2AF (U2AF(65) and U2AF(35)) are correlated with the abilities of these proteins to interact with each other. Direct binding of SF1 to U2AF(65) was demonstrated by fluorescence resonance energy transfer in both the nucleoplasm and nuclear speckles. This interaction persisted after transcription inhibition, suggesting that SF1 associates with U2AF in a splicing-independent manner. We propose that SF1 and U2AF form extraspliceosomal complexes before and after taking part in the assembly of catalytic spliceosomes.
