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

RNA granules consist of membrane-less RNA-protein assemblies and contain dynamic liquid-like shells and stable solid-like cores, which are thought to function in numerous processes in mRNA sorting and translational regulation. However, how these distinct substructures are formed, whether they are assembled by different scaffolds, and whether different RNA granule scaffolds induce these different substructures remains unknown. Here, using fluorescence microscopy-based morphological and molecular-dynamics analyses, we demonstrate that RNA granule scaffold proteins (scaffolds) can be largely classified into two groups, liquid and solid types, which induce the formation of liquid-like and solid-like granules, respectively, when expressed separately in cultured cells. We found that when co-expressed, the liquid-type and solid-type scaffolds combine and form liquid- and solid-like substructures in the same granules, respectively. The combination of the different types of scaffolds reduced the immobile fractions of the solid-type scaffolds and their dose-dependent ability to decrease nascent polypeptides in granules, but had little effect on the dynamics of the liquid-type scaffolds or their dose-dependent ability to increase nascent polypeptides in granules. These results suggest that solid- and liquid-type scaffolds form different substructures in RNA granules and differentially affect each other. Our findings provide detailed insight into the assembly mechanism and distinct dynamics and functions of core and shell substructures in RNA granules.
