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

Spinal muscular atrophy results from deletions or mutations in the survival of motor neuron (SMN1) gene. The SMN protein has an essential role in the biogenesis of spliceosomal snRNPs, but the link between a defect in this process and specific splicing inhibition of pre-mRNAs has not been established. In this study, we report the construction of a temperature-degron (td) allele of the Schizosaccharomyces pombe SMN protein and show that its depletion at 37 degrees C affects splicing and formation of U1, U2, U4 and U5 snRNPs, but not of U6 and U3 ribonucleoproteins. The function of the tdSMN allele in snRNP assembly is already perturbed at 25 degrees C, suggesting a deleterious effect of the tag at this temperature. Using a genome-wide approach, we report that introns react unequally to lower levels of snRNPs in tdSMN cells and that increasing the length of the polypyrimidine tract can improve the splicing efficiency of some, but not all, affected introns. Altogether, our results suggest that the defects observed in tdSMN fission yeast cells mimic splicing deficits observed in SMN-deficient metazoan cells.
