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

TLS (translocated in liposarcoma), also known as FUS (fused in sarcoma), is an RNA/DNA-binding protein that plays regulatory roles in transcription, pre-mRNA splicing and mRNA transport. Mutations in TLS are responsible for familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) type 6. Furthermore, TLS-containing intracellular inclusions are found in polyglutamine diseases, sporadic ALS, non-SOD1 familial ALS and a subset of frontotemporal lobar degeneration, indicating a pathological significance of TLS in a wide variety of neurodegenerative diseases. Here, we identified TLS domains that determine intracellular localization of the murine TLS. Among them, PY-NLS located in the C-terminus is a strong determinant of intracellular localization as well as splicing regulation of an E1A-derived minigene. Disruption of PY-NLS promoted the formation of cytoplasmic granules that were partially overlapped with stress granules and P-bodies. Some of the ALS-linked mutations altered both intracellular localization and splicing regulation of TLS, while most mutations alone did not affect splicing regulation. However, phospho-mimetic substitution of Ser505 (or Ser513 in human) could enhance the effects of ALS mutations, highlighting interplay between post-translational modification and ALS-linked mutations. These results demonstrate that ALS-linked mutations can variably cause loss of nuclear functions of TLS depending on the degree of impairment in nuclear localization.
