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

Various kinds of stress on human cells induce the formation of endogenous stress granules (SGs). Human Argonaute 2 (hAgo2), the catalytic core component of the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC), can be recruited to SGs as well as P-bodies (PBs) indicating that the dynamic intracellular distribution of hAgo2 in SGs, in PBs or at other sub-cellular sites could be related to the efficiency of the RNA interference (RNAi) machinery. Here, we studied the influence of heat shock, sodium arsenite (NaAsO2), cycloheximide (CHX) and Lipofectamine 2000-mediated transfection of phosphorothioate (PS)-modified oligonucleotides (ON) on the intracellular localization of hAgo2 and the efficiency of RNAi. Fluorescence microscopy and sedimentation analysis of cell fractions indicate stress-induced accumulation of hAgo2 in SGs and the loss of distinctly composed complexes containing hAgo2 or their sub-cellular context. Transfection of cells with PS-ON induces cell stress that is phenotypically similar to the established inducers heat shock and NaAsO2. The intracellular re-distribution of hAgo2 is related to its increased metabolic stability and to decreased RNAi directed by microRNA or by short interfering RNA. Here, we propose a functional model of the relationship between cell stress, translocation of hAgo2 to SGs providing a depot function, and loss of RNAi activity.
