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 TREX complex, which functions in mRNA export, is recruited to mRNA during splicing. Both the splicing machinery and the TREX complex are concentrated in 20-50 discrete foci known as nuclear speckle domains. In this study, we use a model system where DNA constructs are microinjected into HeLa cell nuclei, to follow the fates of the transcripts. We show that transcripts lacking functional splice sites, which are inefficiently exported, do not associate with nuclear speckle domains but are instead distributed throughout the nucleoplasm. In contrast, pre-mRNAs containing functional splice sites accumulate in nuclear speckles, and our data suggest that splicing occurs in these domains. When the TREX components UAP56 or Aly are knocked down, spliced mRNA, as well as total polyA+ RNA, accumulates in nuclear speckle domains. Together, our data raise the possibility that pre-mRNA undergoes splicing in nuclear speckle domains, before their release by TREX components for efficient export to the cytoplasm.
