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

There is increasing evidence that noncoding RNAs play a functional role in the nucleus. We previously reported that the microRNA (miRNA), miR-206, is concentrated in the nucleolus of rat myoblasts, as well as in the cytoplasm as expected. Here we have extended this finding. We show by cell/nuclear fractionation followed by microarray analysis that a number of miRNAs can be detected within the nucleolus of rat myoblasts, some of which are significantly concentrated there. Pronounced nucleolar localization is a specific phenomenon since other miRNAs are present at only very low levels in the nucleolus and occur at much higher levels in the nucleoplasm and/or the cytoplasm. We have further characterized a subset of these miRNAs using RT-qPCR and in situ hybridization, and the results suggest that some miRNAs are present in the nucleolus in precursor form while others are present as mature species. Furthermore, we have found that these miRNAs are clustered in specific sites within the nucleolus that correspond to the classical granular component. One of these miRNAs is completely homologous to a portion of a snoRNA, suggesting that it may be processed from it. In contrast, the other nucleolar-concentrated miRNAs do not show homology with any annotated rat snoRNAs and thus appear to be present in the nucleolus for other reasons, such as modification/processing, or to play roles in the late stages of ribosome biosynthesis or in nonribosomal functions that have recently been ascribed to the granular component of the nucleolus.
