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

Processing bodies (PBs) and stress granules (SGs) are related, cytoplasmic RNA-protein complexes that contribute to post-transcriptional gene regulation in all eukaryotic cells. Both structures contain translationally repressed mRNAs and several proteins involved in silencing, stabilization or degradation of mRNAs, especially under environmental stress. Here, we monitored the dynamic formation of PBs and SGs, in somatic cells of adult worms, using fluorescently tagged protein markers of each complex. Both complexes were accumulated in response to various stress conditions, but distinct modes of SG formation were induced, depending on the insult. We also observed an age-dependent accumulation of PBs but not of SGs. We further showed that direct alterations in PB-related genes can influence aging and normal stress responses, beyond their developmental role. In addition, disruption of SG-related genes had diverse effects on development, fertility, lifespan and stress resistance of worms. Our work therefore underlines the important roles of mRNA metabolism factors in several vital cellular processes and provides insight into their diverse functions in a multicellular organism.
