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

Targeting splicing machinery components is an underdeveloped strategy for cancer therapy. Uridine-rich small nuclear ribonucleoproteins (UsnRNPs) are essential spliceosome components that recognize splice sites in newly transcribed RNA. The major spliceosomal snRNPs are comprised of UsnRNA bound by a ring of Sm proteins. The survival of motor neuron (SMN) complex provides specificity for binding of Sm proteins to UsnRNAs. Three of the seven proteins that comprise the Sm core possess post-translationally modified C-terminal symmetric dimethylarginine (sDMA) residues which promote binding of these proteins to SMN. Here we describe a peptide inhibitor of sDMA that is capable of interfering with SMN/SmB interaction. The inhibitory peptide was attached to elastin-like polypeptide, a thermally responsive macromolecular carrier, in order to increase its stability and allow enhancement of its cellular uptake by thermal targeting. The fusion polypeptide inhibited the interaction of SMN/SmB, inhibited proliferation, and induced apoptosis in HeLa cells.
