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

Arabidopsis thaliana Dicer-like protein 2 (AtDCL2) plays an essential role in the RNA interference pathway. The function of AtDCL2 and other DCLs has been much studied but little has been done to characterize the DCLs transcripts before they are translated into proteins. Here, we investigated AtDCL2 transcripts and showed that all 21 introns of AtDCL2 except intron 9, 18, 20 and 21 could be retained although spliced sequences usually predominated. Intron 10 was more frequently retained and transient expression assays in Nicotiana benthamiana leaves showed that when AG/C at the 3' splicing site of the intron was changed to AG/G, the intron was more frequently spliced out. Conversely, a high retention of intron 18 was obtained if the AG/G at the 3' splicing site was changed to AG/C. These results suggest that the sequence at the 3' splicing site affects the efficiency of intron splicing. The 3'-UTRs of AtDCL2 had lengths between 54 and 154 nts, and the different 3'-UTRs differentially affected the transcriptional levels of fused GFP expressed transiently in N. benthamiana. Further comparisons and mutation experiments suggested that a putative SBF-1 binding site and an AU-rich element in the 3'-UTR both down-regulated expression of the upstream GFP fused to the 3'-UTR. Conversely, a second poly(A) consensus signal sequence in one 3'-UTR up-regulated gene expression. Our results provide insight into the character of AtDCL2 transcripts and demonstrate the potential complexity of factors that affect the frequency and patterns of alternative splicing.
