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

In pre-mRNA splicing, a conserved AG/G at the 3'-splice site is recognized by U2AF(35). A disease-causing mutation abrogating the G nucleotide at the first position of an exon (E(+1)) causes exon skipping in GH1, FECH and EYA1, but not in LPL or HEXA. Knockdown of U2AF(35) enhanced exon skipping in GH1 and FECH. RNA-EMSA revealed that wild-type FECH requires U2AF(35) but wild-type LPL does not. A series of artificial mutations in the polypyrimidine tracts of GH1, FECH, EYA1, LPL and HEXA disclosed that a stretch of at least 10-15 pyrimidines is required to ensure normal splicing in the presence of a mutation at E(+1). Analysis of nine other disease-causing mutations at E(+1) detected five splicing mutations. Our studies suggest that a mutation at the AG-dependent 3'-splice site that requires U2AF(35) for spliceosome assembly causes exon skipping, whereas one at the AG-independent 3'-splice site that does not require U2AF(35) gives rise to normal splicing. The AG-dependence of the 3'-splice site that we analyzed in disease-causing mutations at E(+1) potentially helps identify yet unrecognized splicing mutations at E(+1).
