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

RNase E is an essential endonuclease that is abundant in many bacteria and plays an important part in all aspects of RNA metabolism. It functions as part of a large macromolecular complex known as the RNA degradosome. Recent evidence suggests that this complex associates with the inner membrane of bacteria, an observation that challenges traditional models in which soluble RNases are proposed to randomly interact with RNAs in the cytosol. In this Review, I summarize the major roles of RNase E in RNA processing and decay and discuss the various mechanisms that regulate its activity. I also propose a new model to rationalize the mechanism of RNase E action in the context of its localization in the bacterial cell.
