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

Nucleostemin (NS) is a nucleolar protein involved in the regulation of cell proliferation. Both overexpression and knockdown of NS increase the activity of the tumor suppressor protein p53, resulting in cell cycle arrest. In addition, NS regulates processing of pre-rRNA and consequently the level of total protein synthesis. Here, we describe a previously uncharacterized function of NS in the maintenance of the tripartite nucleolar structure as well as the integrity of small nucleolar ribonucleoproteins (snoRNPs). NS is also necessary to maintain the telomerase complex which shares common protein subunits with the H/ACA box snoRNPs. First, immunofluorescence microscopy and electron microscopy demonstrated that knockdown of NS disorganized the nucleolar architecture, in particular, the dense fibrillar component where snoRNPs are localized. Second, gel filtration chromatography and immunoprecipitation indicated that NS depletion leads to dissociation of the components of snoRNPs and the telomerase complex. Third, NS depletion reduced both telomerase activity and the cellular level of pseudouridine, an H/ACA snoRNP-mediated modification of rRNA and other RNAs that are important for their folding and stability. These morphological, biochemical and functional studies demonstrate that NS plays an important role to maintain nucleolar structure and function on a more fundamental level than previously thought.
