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

Introns are removed from eukaryotic messenger RNA precursors by the spliceosome in two transesterification reactions-branching and exon ligation. The mechanism of 3'-splice site recognition during exon ligation has remained unclear. Here we present the 3.7-angstrom cryo-electron microscopy structure of the yeast P-complex spliceosome immediately after exon ligation. The 3'-splice site AG dinucleotide is recognized through non-Watson-Crick pairing with the 5' splice site and the branch-point adenosine. After the branching reaction, protein factors work together to remodel the spliceosome and stabilize a conformation competent for 3'-splice site docking, thereby promoting exon ligation. The structure accounts for the strict conservation of the GU and AG dinucleotides at the 5' and 3' ends of introns and provides insight into the catalytic mechanism of exon ligation.
