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 retrograde movement of tRNAs from the cytoplasm to the nucleus occurs constitutively in eukaryotic cells but its functional significance remains unclear. We show evidence suggesting that in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a spliced tRNA precursor must be imported into the nucleus before the biogenesis of a modified base can occur. Wybutosine (yW) is a modified base adjacent to the anticodon of tRNA(Phe) and is required for accurate decoding. Glucose starvation or overexpression of the nuclear tRNA binding protein Trz1p both caused nuclear retention of cytoplasmic tRNAs, impaired the yW synthesis, and induced the accumulation of its intermediate, N(1)-methylgunanosine (m(1)G), showing that the postspliced tRNA(Phe) is imported to the nucleus, where m(1)G is formed by Trm5p, after which it is reexported to the cytoplasm, where the yW synthesis is completed by cytoplasmic enzymes.
