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

Nuclear paraspeckles are built co-transcriptionally around a long non-coding RNA, NEAT1. Here we report that transfected 20-mer phosphorothioate-modified (PS) antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) can recruit paraspeckle proteins to form morphologically normal and apparently functional paraspeckle-like structures containing no NEAT1 RNA. PS-ASOs can associate with paraspeckle proteins, including P54nrb, PSF, PSPC1 and hnRNPK. NEAT1 RNA can be displaced by transfected PS-ASO from paraspeckles and rapidly degraded. Co-localization of PS-ASOs with P54nrb was observed in canonical NEAT1-containing paraspeckles, in perinucleolar caps upon transcriptional inhibition, and importantly, in paraspeckle-like or filament structures lacking NEAT1 RNA. The induced formation of paraspeckle-like and filament structures occurred in mouse embryonic stem cells expressing little or no NEAT1 RNA, suggesting that PS-ASOs can serve as seeding molecules to assemble paraspeckle-like foci in the absence of NEAT1 RNA. Moreover, CTN, an RNA reported to be functionally retained in paraspeckles, was also observed to localize to paraspeckle-like structures, implying that paraspeckle-like structures assembled on PS-ASOs are functional. Together, our results indicate that functional paraspeckles can form with short nucleic acids other than NEAT1 RNA.
