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

Eukaryotic cells are known to contain a wide variety of RNA-protein assemblies, collectively referred to as RNP granules. RNP granules form from a combination of RNA-RNA, protein-RNA, and protein-protein interactions. In addition, RNP granules are enriched in proteins with intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs), which are frequently appended to a well-folded domain of the same protein. This structural organization of RNP granule components allows for a diverse set of protein-protein interactions including traditional structured interactions between well-folded domains, interactions of short linear motifs in IDRs with the surface of well-folded domains, interactions of short motifs within IDRs that weakly interact with related motifs, and weak interactions involving at most transient ordering of IDRs and folded domains with other components. In addition, both well-folded domains and IDRs in granule components frequently interact with RNA and thereby can contribute to RNP granule assembly. We discuss the contribution of these interactions to liquid-liquid phase separation and the possible role of phase separation in the assembly of RNP granules. We expect that these principles also apply to other non-membrane bound organelles and large assemblies in the cell.
