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 the mitochondria of trypanosomatids, the majority of mRNAs undergo massive uracil-insertion/deletion editing. Throughout the processes of pre-mRNA polyadenylation, guide RNA (gRNA) uridylylation and annealing to mRNA, and editing reactions, several multiprotein complexes must engage in transient interactions to produce a template for protein synthesis. Here, we report the identification of a protein complex essential for gRNA stability. The gRNA-binding complex (GRBC) interacts with gRNA processing, editing, and polyadenylation machineries and with the mitochondrial edited mRNA stability (MERS1) factor. RNAi knockdown of the core subunits, GRBC1 and GRBC2, led to the elimination of gRNAs, thus inhibiting mRNA editing. Inhibition of MERS1 expression selectively abrogated edited mRNAs. Homologous proteins unique to the order of Kinetoplastida, GRBC1 and GRBC2, form a stable 200 kDa particle that directly binds gRNAs. Systematic analysis of RNA-mediated and RNA-independent interactions involving the GRBC and MERS1 suggests a unified model for RNA processing in the kinetoplast mitochondria.
