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

Stress granules (SGs) are formed in response to stress, contain mRNAs, 40S ribosomal subunits, initiation factors, RNA-binding and signaling proteins, and promote cell survival. Our study describes a novel function of the protein heterodimer SRP9/14 and Alu RNA in SG formation and disassembly. In human cells, SRP9/14 exists assembled into SRP, bound to Alu RNA and as a free protein. SRP9/14, but not SRP, localizes to SGs following arsenite or hippuristanol treatment. Depletion of the protein decreases SG size and the number of SG-positive cells. Localization and function of SRP9/14 in SGs depend primarily on its ability to bind directly to the 40S subunit. Binding of SRP9/14 to 40S and Alu RNA is mutually exclusive indicating that the protein alone is bound to 40S in SGs and that Alu RNA might competitively regulate 40S binding. Indeed, by changing the effective Alu RNA concentration in the cell or by expressing an Alu RNA binding-defective protein we were able to influence SG formation and disassembly. Our findings suggest a model in which SRP9/14 binding to 40S promotes SG formation whereas the increase in cytoplasmic Alu RNA following stress promotes disassembly of SGs by disengaging SRP9/14 from 40S.
