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 integral telomerase RNA subunit templates the synthesis of telomeric repeats. The biological accumulation of human telomerase RNA (hTR) requires hTR H/ACA domain assembly with the same proteins that assemble on other human H/ACA RNAs. Despite this shared RNP composition, hTR accumulation is particularly sensitized to disruption by disease-linked H/ACA protein variants. We show that contrary to expectation, hTR-specific sequence requirements for biological accumulation do not act at an hTR-specific step of H/ACA RNP biogenesis; instead, they enhance hTR binding to the shared, chaperone-bound scaffold of H/ACA core proteins that mediates initial RNP assembly. We recapitulate physiological H/ACA RNP assembly with a preassembled NAF1/dyskerin/NOP10/NHP2 scaffold purified from cell extract and demonstrate that distributed sequence features of the hTR 3' hairpin synergize to improve scaffold binding. Our findings reveal that the hTR H/ACA domain is distinguished from other human H/ACA RNAs not by a distinct set of RNA-protein interactions but by an increased efficiency of RNP assembly. Our findings suggest a unifying mechanism for human telomerase deficiencies associated with H/ACA protein variants.
