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

In Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, regulation of chloroplast gene expression is mainly post-transcriptional. It requires nucleus-encoded trans-acting protein factors for maturation/stabilization (M factors) or translation (T factors) of specific target mRNAs. We used long- and small-RNA sequencing to generate a detailed map of the transcriptome. Clusters of sRNAs marked the 5' end of all mature mRNAs. Their absence in M-factor mutants reflects the protection of transcript 5' end by the cognate factor. Enzymatic removal of 5'-triphosphates allowed identifying those cosRNA that mark a transcription start site. We detected another class of sRNAs derived from low abundance transcripts, antisense to mRNAs. The formation of antisense sRNAs required the presence of the complementary mRNA and was stimulated when translation was inhibited by chloramphenicol or lincomycin. We propose that they derive from degradation of double-stranded RNAs generated by pairing of antisense and sense transcripts, a process normally hindered by the traveling of the ribosomes. In addition, chloramphenicol treatment, by freezing ribosomes on the mRNA, caused the accumulation of 32-34 nt ribosome-protected fragments. Using this 'in vivo ribosome footprinting', we identified the function and molecular target of two candidate trans-acting factors.
