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

Human Pumilio proteins, PUM1 and PUM2, are sequence specific RNA-binding proteins that regulate protein expression. We used RNA-seq, rigorous statistical testing and an experimentally derived fold change cut-off to identify nearly 1000 target RNAs-including mRNAs and non-coding RNAs-that are functionally regulated by PUMs. Bioinformatic analysis defined a PUM Response Element (PRE) that was significantly enriched in transcripts that increased in abundance and matches the PUM RNA-binding consensus. We created a computational model that incorporates PRE position and frequency within an RNA relative to the magnitude of regulation. The model reveals significant correlation of PUM regulation with PREs in 3' untranslated regions (UTRs), coding sequences and non-coding RNAs, but not 5' UTRs. To define direct, high confidence PUM targets, we cross-referenced PUM-regulated RNAs with all PRE-containing RNAs and experimentally defined PUM-bound RNAs. The results define nearly 300 direct targets that include both PUM-repressed and, surprisingly, PUM-activated target RNAs. Annotation enrichment analysis reveal that PUMs regulate genes from multiple signaling pathways and developmental and neurological processes. Moreover, PUM target mRNAs impinge on human disease genes linked to cancer, neurological disorders and cardiovascular disease. These discoveries pave the way for determining how the PUM-dependent regulatory network impacts biological functions and disease states.
