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

Regulated translation and subcellular localization of maternal mRNAs underlies establishment of the antero-posterior axis in the Drosophila oocyte. In this issue of Genes & Development, Besse et al. (pp. 195-207) show that a molecule better known as a regulator of alternative splicing in the nucleus, polypyrimidine tract-binding protein (PTB), is required for repression of oskar mRNA in the cytoplasm. Their work suggests that PTB need not engage oskar mRNA in the nucleus for efficient repression, providing an important counterexample to the increasingly popular idea that cytoplasmic regulation initiates in the nucleus.
