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 2'-OH group of the branch point adenosine is a key moiety to initiate pre-mRNA splicing. We use RNA-guided RNA modification to target the pre-mRNA branch point adenosine for 2'-O-methylation, with the aim of blocking pre-mRNA splicing in vertebrate cells. We show that, under certain conditions, injection of a branch point-specific artificial box C/D RNA into Xenopus oocytes effectively 2'-O-methylates adenovirus pre-mRNA at the target nucleotide. However, 2'-O-methylation at the authentic branch point activates a host of cryptic branch points, thus allowing splicing to continue. These cryptic sites are mapped, and mutated. Upon injection, pre-mRNA free of cryptic branch points fails to splice when the branch point-specific box C/D RNA is present. However, 2'-O-methylation at the branch point does not prevent pre-mRNA from being assembled into pre-catalytic spliceosome-like complexes prior to the first chemical step of splicing. Our results demonstrate that RNA-guided pre-mRNA modification can occur in the nucleoplasm of vertebrate cells, thus offering a powerful tool for molecular biology research.
