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

Mtr4p is a DEVH-box helicase required for 3'-end processing and degradation of various nuclear RNA substrates. In particular, Mtr4p is essential for the creation of 5.8S rRNA, U4 snRNA, and some snoRNAs and for the degradation of cryptic unstable transcripts (CUTs), aberrant mRNAs, and aberrant tRNAs. Many instances of 3'-end processing require limited polyadenylation to proceed. While polyadenylation can signal degradation in species from bacteria to humans, the mechanism whereby polyadenylated substrates are delivered to the degradation machinery is unknown. Our previous work has shown that Mtr4p preferentially binds poly(A) RNA. We suspect that this preference aids in targeting polyadenylated RNAs to the exosome. In these studies, we have investigated the mechanism underlying the preference of Mtr4p for poly(A) substrates as a means of understanding how Mtr4p might facilitate targeting. Our analysis has revealed that recognition of poly(A) substrates involves sequence-specific changes in the architecture of Mtr4p-RNA complexes. Furthermore, these differences significantly affect downstream activities. In particular, homopolymeric stretches like poly(A) ineffectively stimulate the ATPase activity of Mtr4p and suppress the rate of dissociation of the Mtr4p-RNA complex. These findings indicate that the Mtr4p-poly(A) complex is unique and ideally suited for targeting key substrates to the exosome.
