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

The Hu RNA-binding protein family consists of four members: HuR/A, HuB, HuC and HuD. HuR expression is widespread. The other three neuron-specific Hu proteins play an important role in neuronal differentiation through modulating multiple processes of RNA metabolism. In the splicing events examined previously, Hu proteins promote skipping of the alternative exons. Here, we report the first example where Hu proteins promote inclusion of an alternative exon, exon 6 of the HuD pre-mRNA. Sequence alignment analysis indicates the presence of several conserved AU-rich sequences both upstream and downstream to this alternatively spliced exon. We generated a human HuD exon 6 mini-gene reporter construct that includes these conserved sequences. Hu protein over-expression led to significantly increased exon 6 inclusion from this reporter and endogenous HuD. Studies using truncated and mutant HuD exon 6 reporters demonstrate that two AU-rich sequences located downstream of exon 6 are important. RNAi knockdown of Hu proteins decreased exon 6 inclusion. An in vitro splicing assay indicates that Hu proteins promote HuD exon 6 inclusion directly at the level of splicing. Our studies demonstrate that Hu proteins can function as splicing enhancers and expand the functional role of Hu proteins as splicing regulators.
