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 the nucleus of higher eukaryotes, maturation of mRNA precursors involves an orderly sequence of transcription-coupled interdependent steps. Transcription is well known to influence splicing, but how splicing may affect transcription remains unclear. Here we show that a splicing mutation that prevents recruitment of spliceosomal snRNPs to nascent transcripts causes co-transcriptional retention of unprocessed RNAs that remain associated with polymerases stalled predominantly at the 3' end of the gene. In contrast, treatment with spliceostatin A, which allows early spliceosome formation but destabilizes subsequent assembly of the catalytic complex, abolishes 3' end pausing of polymerases and induces leakage of unspliced transcripts to the nucleoplasm. Taken together, the data suggest that recruitment of splicing factors and correct assembly of the spliceosome are coupled to transcription termination, and this might ensure a proofreading mechanism that slows down release of unprocessed transcripts from the transcription site.
