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 yeast Cth2 protein is a CX(8)CX(5)CX(3)H tandem zinc finger protein that binds AU-rich element (ARE)-containing transcripts to enhance their decay in response to iron (Fe) deficiency. Mammalian members of this family of proteins are known to undergo nucleocytoplasmic shuttling, but little is known about the role of shuttling in the mechanism of ARE-dependent mRNA decay. Here we demonstrate that, like its mammalian homologues, Cth2 is a nucleocytoplasmic shuttling protein whose nuclear export depends on mRNA transport to the cytosol. The nuclear import information of Cth2 is contained within its tandem zinc finger domain, but it is independent of mRNA-binding function. Moreover, we also demonstrate that nucleocytoplasmic shuttling of Cth2 requires active transcription and that disruption of shuttling leads to defects in Cth2 function in mRNA decay under Fe deficiency. Taken together, our data suggest that under conditions of Fe deficiency Cth2 travels into the nucleus to recruit target mRNAs, perhaps cotranscriptionally, that are destined for cytosolic degradation as part of the mechanism of adaptation to growth under Fe limitation. These data also suggest an important role for nucleocytoplasmic shuttling in this conserved family of proteins in the mechanism of ARE-mediated mRNA decay.
