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 many cell types, the length of the poly(A) tail of an mRNA is closely linked to its fate - a long tail is associated with active translation, a short tail with silencing and degradation. During mammalian oocyte development, two contrasting patterns of polyadenylation have been identified. Some mRNAs carry a long poly(A) tail during the growth stage and are actively translated, then become deadenylated and down-regulated during the subsequent stage, termed meiotic maturation. Other mRNAs carry a short tail poly(A) tail and are translationally repressed during growth, and their poly(A) tail lengthens and they become translationally activated during maturation. As well, a program of elimination of this 'maternal' mRNA is initiated during oocyte maturation. Here we describe a third pattern of polyadenylation: mRNAs are deadenylated in growing oocytes, become polyadenylated during early maturation and then deadenylated during late maturation. We show that the deadenylase, CNOT6, is present in cortical foci of oocytes and regulates deadenylation of these mRNAs, and that PUF-binding elements (PBEs) regulate deadenylation in mature oocytes. Unexpectedly, maintaining a long poly(A) tail neither enhances translation nor inhibits degradation of these mRNAs. Our findings implicate multiple machineries, more complex than previously thought, in regulating mRNA activity in oocytes.
