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

Pseudouridine (Ψ) is the most abundant posttranscriptional modification in noncoding RNAs. Pseudouridines are often clustered in important regions of rRNAs (ribosomal RNAs), snRNAs (small nuclear RNAs), and tRNAs (transfer RNAs), contributing to RNA function. Pseudouridylation is governed by two independent mechanisms. The first involves single protein enzymes called pseudouridine synthases (PUSs) that alone recognize the substrate and catalyze the isomerization of uridine to pseudouridine (RNA-independent pseudouridylation). The second is an RNA-guided pseudouridylation by a family of box H/ACA RNPs (ribonucleoproteins), each of which consists of a unique RNA (box H/ACA RNA) and four common core proteins (Cbf5/NAP57/Dyskerin, Nhp2/L7Ae, Nop10, and Gar1). The RNA component serves as a guide that base pairs with the substrate RNA and directs the enzyme (Cbf5) to carry out the pseudouridylation reaction at a specific site. The crystal structures of many PUSs have been solved in numerous organisms including E. coli and human. Several partial and complete crystal structures of archaea and yeast box H/ACA RNPs are available, providing a rich source of information regarding the molecular interactions between protein components and box H/ACA RNA. Over the years, several experimental systems have been developed to study the mechanism and function of pseudouridylation. Apart from noncoding RNA pseudouridylation, recent experiments have provided evidence of mRNA pseudouridylation as well. Despite remarkable progress, there is a need to accelerate efforts in order to understand the detailed mechanisms and functions of RNA pseudouridylation.
