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

RNA degradation is a major mechanism of post-transcriptional control of gene expression. Moreover, the rapid turnover of bacterial mRNAs is central to the fast adaptation of these organisms to changing environmental conditions by the regulation of transcription initiation. In most bacteria, RNA processing and degradation require the concerted action of endo- and exoribonucleases. In Molecular Microbiology, Liu et al. (2014) have analysed RNA processing by polynucleotide phosphorylase, the major 3'-5' exonuclease in Bacillus subtilis. For the first time, they were able to study RNA degradation by this enzyme at single nucleotide resolution. The work provides novel insights into the mechanism by which RNA degradation acts in B. subtilis. Moreover, Liu et al. demonstrate that the post-transcriptional control of central regulators affects the expression of whole regulons.
