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

RNAs are exported from the nucleus to the cytoplasm, where they undergo translation and produce proteins needed for the cellular life cycle. Some mRNAs are targeted by different RNA decay mechanisms and thereby undergo degradation. The 5'-->3' degradation machinery localizes to cytoplasmic complexes termed P bodies (PBs). They function in RNA turnover, translational repression, RNA-mediated silencing, and RNA storage. A quantitative live-cell imaging approach to study the dynamic aspects of PB trafficking in the cytoplasm revealed that PB movements are rather confined and dependent on an existing microtubule network. Microtubule depolymerization led to a drastic decrease in PB mobility, as well as a release of regulation on PB assembly and a dramatic increase in PB numbers. The different aspects of PB trafficking and encounters with mRNA molecules in the cytoplasm are discussed.
