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

Quiescence (G0) is defined as an assortment of cell cycle arrested states that exhibit distinct properties. Leukemias harbor a subpopulation of G0 cells that can be enriched by growth factor deprivation or serum starvation. Target site reporters with shortened poly(A) tails show translation activation by microRNAs, via a noncanonical mechanism, when introduced into the nucleus of G0 cells. This is because recruitment by the activation causing FXR1a-microRNA-protein complex (FXR1a-microRNP) is nuclear and requires shortened poly(A) tails to avoid repressive factors and canonical translation. When introduced into the cytoplasm, target mRNAs and microRNAs are directed toward repression rather than translation activation. Leukemic cell lines are difficult to transfect but can be routinely nucleofected-where in vitro transcribed mRNA reporters and microRNAs are introduced into the nucleus of G0 leukemic cells. Nucleofection of a microRNA target reporter and either cognate, targeting microRNA, or control microRNA, into the nucleus of G0 cells, enables analysis of translation activation by microRNAs in G0. We discuss a modified protocol that we developed for transfection of mRNAs along with microRNAs to test translation regulation by microRNAs in G0 leukemic cells.
