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 mitochondrial RNA binding complex 1 (MRB1) is a recently discovered complex of proteins associated with the TbRGG1 and TbRGG2 proteins in Trypanosoma brucei. Based on the phenotype caused by down-regulation of these two proteins, it was proposed to play an unspecified role in RNA editing. RNAi silencing of three newly characterized protein subunits, guide RNA associated proteins (GAPs) 1 and 2 as well as a predicted DExD/H-box RNA helicase, show they are essential for cell growth in the procyclic stage. Furthermore, their down-regulation leads to inhibition of editing in only those mRNAs for which minicircle-encoded guide (g) RNAs are required. However, editing remains unaffected when the maxicircle-encoded cis-acting gRNA is employed. Interestingly, all three proteins are necessary for the expression of the minicircle-encoded gRNAs. Moreover, down-regulation of a fourth assayed putative MRB1 subunit, Nudix hydrolase, does not appear to destabilize gRNAs, and down-regulation of this protein has a general impact on the stability of maxicircle-encoded RNAs. GAP1 and 2 are also essential for the survival of the bloodstream stage, in which the gRNAs become eliminated upon depletion of either protein. Immunolocalization revealed that GAP1 and 2 are concentrated into discrete spots along the mitochondrion, usually localized in the proximity of the kinetoplast. Finally, we demonstrate that the same mtRNA polymerase known to transcribe the maxicircle mRNAs may also have a role in expression of the minicircle-encoded gRNAs.
