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

Dyskeratosis congenita (DC) is a progressive and heterogeneous congenital disorder that affects multiple systems and is characterized by bone marrow failure and a triad of abnormal skin pigmentation, nail dystrophy, and oral leukoplakia. One common feature for all DC patients is abnormally short telomeres and defects in telomere biology. Most of the known DC mutations have been found to affect core components of the telomerase holoenzyme. Recently, multiple mutations in the gene encoding the telomeric protein TIN2 have been identified in DC patients with intact telomerase genes, but the molecular mechanisms underlying TIN2 mutation-mediated DC remain unknown. Here, we demonstrate that ectopic expression of TIN2 with DC missense mutations in human cells led to accelerated telomere shortening, similar to the telomere phenotypes found in DC patients. However, this telomere shortening was not accompanied by changes in total telomerase activity, localization of TIN2, or telomere end protection status. Interestingly, we found TIN2 to participate in the TPP1-dependent recruitment of telomerase activity. Furthermore, DC mutations in TIN2 led to its decreased ability to associate with TERC and telomerase activity. Taken together, our data suggest that TIN2 mutations in DC may compromise the telomere recruitment of telomerase, leading to telomere shortening and the associated pathogenesis.
