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

Paraspeckles are unique subnuclear structures built around a specific long noncoding RNA, NEAT1, which is comprised of two isoforms produced by alternative 3'-end processing (NEAT1_1 and NEAT1_2). To address the precise molecular processes that lead to paraspeckle formation, we identified 35 paraspeckle proteins (PSPs), mainly by colocalization screening with a fluorescent protein-tagged full-length cDNA library. Most of the newly identified PSPs possessed various putative RNA-binding domains. Subsequent RNAi analyses identified seven essential PSPs for paraspeckle formation. One of the essential PSPs, HNRNPK, appeared to affect the production of the essential NEAT1_2 isoform by negatively regulating the 3'-end polyadenylation of the NEAT1_1 isoform. An in vitro 3'-end processing assay revealed that HNRNPK arrested binding of the CPSF6-NUDT21 (CFIm) complex in the vicinity of the alternative polyadenylation site of NEAT1_1. In vitro binding assays showed that HNRNPK competed with CPSF6 for binding to NUDT21, which was the underlying mechanism to arrest CFIm binding by HNRNPK. This HNRNPK function led to the preferential accumulation of NEAT1_2 and initiated paraspeckle construction with multiple PSPs.
