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

Fine regulation of the phosphatase and tensin homologue (PTEN) phosphatase dosage is critical for homeostasis and tumour suppression. The 3'-untranslated region (3'-UTR) of Pten mRNA was extensively linked to post-transcriptional regulation by microRNAs (miRNAs). In spite of this critical regulatory role, alternative 3'-UTRs of Pten have not been systematically characterized. Here, we reveal an important diversity of Pten mRNA isoforms generated by alternative polyadenylation sites. Several 3'-UTRs are co-expressed and their relative expression is dynamically regulated. In spite of encoding multiple validated miRNA-binding sites, longer isoforms are largely refractory to miRNA-mediated silencing, are more stable and contribute to the bulk of PTEN protein and signalling functions. Taken together, our results warrant a mechanistic re-interpretation of the post-transcriptional mechanisms involving Pten mRNAs and raise concerns on how miRNA-binding sites are being validated.
