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

Telomerase RNA is an essential component of telomerase, a ribonucleoprotein enzyme that maintains chromosome ends in most eukaryotes. Here we employ a novel approach, namely, RNA-guided RNA modification, to assess whether introducing 2'-O methylation into telomerase RNA can influence telomerase activity in vivo. We generate specific 2'-O methylation sites in and adjacent to the triple helix (within the conserved pseudoknot structure) of Saccharomyces cerevisiae telomerase RNA (TLC1). We show that 2'-O methylation at U809 reduces telomerase activity, resulting in telomere shortening, whereas 2'-O methylation at A804 or A805 leads to moderate telomere lengthening. Importantly, we also show that targeted 2'-O methylation does not affect TLC1 levels and that 2'-O-methylated TLC1 appears to be efficiently assembled into telomerase ribonucleoprotein. Our results demonstrate that RNA-guided RNA modification is a highly useful approach for modulating telomerase activity.
