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

Pseudouridine (Ψ), the isomer of uridine, is commonly found at various positions of noncoding RNAs of all organisms. Ψ residues are formed by a number of single- or multisite specific Ψ synthases, which generally act as stand-alone proteins. In addition, in Eukarya and Archaea, specific ribonucleoprotein complexes, each containing a distinct box H/ACA guide RNA and four core proteins, can produce Ψ at many sites of different cellular RNAs. Cbf5 is the core Ψ synthase in these complexes. Using Haloferax volcanii as an archaeal model organism, we show that, contrary to eukaryotes, the Cbf5 homolog (HVO_2493) is not essential in this archaeon. The Cbf5-deleted strain of H. volcanii completely lacks Ψ at positions 1940, 1942, 2605, and 2591 (Escherichia coli positions 1915, 1917, 2572, and 2586) of its 23S rRNA, and contains reduced steady-state levels of some box H/ACA RNAs. Archaeal Cbf5 is known to have tRNA Ψ55 synthase activity in vitro but we could not confirm this activity in vivo in H. volcanii. Conversely, the Pus10 (previously PsuX) homolog (HVO_1979), which can produce tRNA Ψ55, as well as Ψ54 in vitro, is shown here to be essential in H. volcanii, whereas the corresponding tRNA Ψ55 synthases, Pus4 and TruB, are not essential in yeast and E. coli, respectively. Finally, we demonstrate that HVO_1852, the TruA/Pus3 homolog, is responsible for the pseudouridylation of position 39 in H. volcanii tRNAs and that the corresponding gene is not essential.
