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 regulators are critical for animal development, especially in the germ line where gene expression is often modulated by changes in mRNA stability, translation, and localization. In this paper, we focus on Caenorhabditis elegans LARP-1, a representative of one La-related protein (Larp) family found broadly among eukaryotes. LARP-1 possesses a signature La motif, which is an ancient RNA-binding domain, plus a second conserved motif, typical of LARP-1 homologs and therefore dubbed the LARP1 domain. LARP-1 appears to bind RNA in vitro via both the La motif and the LARP1 domain. larp-1 null mutants have an oogenesis defect reminiscent of hyperactive Ras-MAPK signaling; this defect is suppressed or enhanced by down- or up-regulating the Ras-MAPK pathway, respectively. Consistent with a role in down-regulating the Ras-MAPK pathway, larp-1 null mutants have higher than normal levels of selected pathway mRNAs and proteins. LARP-1 protein colocalizes with P bodies, which function in RNA degradation. We suggest that LARP-1 functions in P bodies to attenuate the abundance of conserved Ras-MAPK mRNAs. We also propose that the cluster of LARP-1 homologs may function generally to control the expression of key developmental regulators.
