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

Alu repeats within human genes may potentially alter gene expression. Here, we show that 3'-UTR-located inverted Alu repeats significantly reduce expression of an AcGFP reporter gene. Mutational analysis demonstrates that the secondary structure, but not the primary nucleotide sequence, of the inverted Alu repeats is critical for repression. The expression levels and nucleocytoplasmic distribution of reporter mRNAs with or without 3'-UTR inverted Alu repeats are similar; suggesting that reporter gene repression is not due to changes in mRNA levels or mRNA nuclear sequestration. Instead, reporter gene mRNAs harboring 3'-UTR inverted Alu repeats accumulate in cytoplasmic stress granules. These findings may suggest a novel mechanism whereby 3'-UTR-located inverted Alu repeats regulate human gene expression through sequestration of mRNAs within stress granules.
