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 recent years, electron microscopy (EM) has allowed the generation of three-dimensional structure maps of several spliceosomal complexes. However, owing to their limited resolution, little is known at present about the location of the pre-mRNA, the spliceosomal small nuclear ribonucleoprotein or the spliceosome's active site within these structures. In this work, we used EM to localise the intron and the 5' and 3' exons of a model pre-mRNA, as well as the U2-associated protein SF3b155, in pre-catalytic spliceosomes (i.e. B complexes) by labelling them with an antibody that bears colloidal gold. Our data reveal that the intron and both exons, together with SF3b155, are located in specific regions of the head domain of the B complex. These results represent an important first step towards identifying functional sites in the spliceosome. The gold-labelling method adopted here can be applied to other spliceosomal complexes and may thus contribute significantly to our overall understanding of the pre-mRNA splicing process.
