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

Reversible protein phosphorylation has an essential role during pre-mRNA splicing. Here we identify two previously unidentified phosphoproteins in the human spliceosomal B complex, namely the pre-mRNA processing factors PRP6 and PRP31, both components of the U4/U6-U5 tri-small nuclear ribonucleoprotein (snRNP). We provide evidence that PRP6 and PRP31 are directly phosphorylated by human PRP4 kinase (PRP4K) concomitant with their incorporation into B complexes. Immunodepletion and complementation studies with HeLa splicing extracts revealed that active human PRP4K is required for the phosphorylation of PRP6 and PRP31 and for the assembly of stable, functional B complexes. Thus, the phosphorylation of PRP6 and PRP31 is likely to have a key role during spliceosome assembly. Our data provide new insights into the molecular mechanism by which PRP4K contributes to splicing. They further indicate that numerous phosphorylation events contribute to spliceosome assembly and, thus, that splicing can potentially be modulated at multiple regulatory checkpoints.
