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

Deprotection of the 5' end appears to be a universal mechanism for triggering the degradation of mRNA in bacteria and eukaryotes. In Escherichia coli, for example, converting the 5' triphosphate of primary transcripts to a monophosphate accelerates cleavage at internal sites by the endonuclease RNase E. Previous studies have shown that the RNA pyrophosphohydrolase RppH catalyzes this transformation in vitro and generates monophosphorylated decay intermediates in vivo. Recently, we reported that purified E. coli RppH unexpectedly reacts faster with diphosphorylated than with triphosphorylated substrates. By using a novel assay, it was also determined that diphosphorylated mRNA decay intermediates are abundant in wild-type E. coli and that their fractional level increases to almost 100% for representative mRNAs in mutant cells lacking RppH. These findings indicate that the conversion of triphosphorylated to monophosphorylated RNA in E. coli is a stepwise process involving sequential phosphate removal and the transient formation of a diphosphorylated intermediate. The latter RNA phosphorylation state, which was previously unknown in bacteria, now appears to define the preferred biological substrates of E. coli RppH. The enzyme responsible for generating it remains to be identified.
