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 zinc finger protein 36-like 2, Zfp36l2, has been implicated in female mouse infertility, because an amino-terminal truncation mutation (ΔN-Zfp36l2) leads to two-cell stage arrest of embryos derived from the homozygous mutant female gamete. Zfp36l2 is a member of the tristetraprolin (TTP) family of CCCH tandem zinc finger proteins that can bind to transcripts containing AU-rich elements (ARE), resulting in deadenylation and destabilization of these transcripts. I show here that the mouse Zfp36l2 is composed of two exons and a single intron, encoding a polypeptide of 484 amino acids. I observed that ΔN-Zfp36l2 protein is similar to both wild-type Zfp36l2 and TTP (Zfp36) in that it shuttles between the cytoplasm and nucleus, binds to RNAs containing AREs, and promotes deadenylation of a model ARE transcript in a cell-based co-transfection assay. Surprisingly, in contrast to TTP, Zfp36l2 mRNA and protein were rapidly down-regulated upon LPS exposure in bone marrow-derived macrophages. The ΔN-Zfp36l2 protein was substantially more resistant to stimulus-induced down-regulation than the WT. I postulate that the embryonic arrest linked to the ΔN-Zfp36l2 truncation might be related to its resistance to stimulus-induced down-regulation.
