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

Conserved translin-TRAX complexes, also known as C3POs, have been implicated in many biological processes, but how they function remains unclear. Recently, C3PO was shown to be an endoRNase that promotes RNA interference (RNAi) in animal cells. Here, we show that C3PO does not play a significant role in RNAi in the filamentous fungus Neurospora crassa. Instead, the Neurospora C3PO functions as an RNase that removes the 5' pre-tRNA fragments after the processing of pre-tRNAs by RNase P. In addition, translin and trax mutants have elevated levels of tRNA and protein translation and are more resistant to a cell death-inducing agent. Finally, we show that C3PO is also involved in tRNA processing in mouse embryonic fibroblast cells. This study identifies the endogenous RNA substrates of C3PO and provides a potential explanation for its roles in apparently diverse biological processes.
