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 sequence elements that mediate post-transcriptional gene regulation often reside in the 5' and 3' untranslated regions (UTRs) of mRNAs. Using six different families of dicotyledonous plants, we developed a comparative transcriptomics pipeline for the identification and annotation of deeply conserved regulatory sequences in the 5' and 3' UTRs. Our approach was robust to confounding effects of poor UTR alignability and rampant paralogy in plants. In the 3' UTR, motifs resembling PUMILIO-binding sites form a prominent group of conserved motifs. Additionally, Expansins, one of the few plant mRNA families known to be localized to specific subcellular sites, possess a core conserved RCCCGC motif. In the 5' UTR, one major subset of motifs consists of purine-rich repeats. A distinct and substantial fraction possesses upstream AUG start codons. Half of the AUG containing motifs reveal hidden protein-coding potential in the 5' UTR, while the other half point to a peptide-independent function related to translation. Among the former, we added four novel peptides to the small catalog of conserved-peptide uORFs. Among the latter, our case studies document patterns of uORF evolution that include gain and loss of uORFs, switches in uORF reading frame, and switches in uORF length and position. In summary, nearly three hundred post-transcriptional elements show evidence of purifying selection across the eudicot branch of flowering plants, indicating a regulatory function spanning at least 70 million years. Some of these sequences have experimental precedent, but many are novel and encourage further exploration.
